so stressed :(

I am 24+3 weeks pregnant and after all the stress and costs of the holidays I was scheduled to return to work today, I am a nanny for 4 little girls and I am able to bring my daughter to work with me. I work wed, thurs, and Fridays and I put in long hours but I love my job, im paid $12.00 an hour cash and put in about 35 hours in those 3 days each week. I got a call from my boss today, first he asked how my Christmas went and informed me that he didn't get his girls for Christmas so they were going to celebrate tonight and he wouldn't need me to come watch the girls, then he proceeded to tell me that his mother is now out of work and would like to have his girls during the times that I usually watch his children, so he will no longer be needing my help :( I cant believe it. it took a lot for me not to break out in tears because we really need that income and I have no idea what I will do now, I didn't go to college so any job I can get without the education wont be worth it because alllllll of my income would only cover the cost of daycare for my 2 year old and baby on the way :( im so so stressed and cant stop worrying and crying.

you cant stress yourself out too much while you are preg. it will make you lose the baby or it will put the baby under stress and the baby will come too early so dont stress about it.. have you tried posting an add ? at like stores or something about the job just write your number down and the people can call you if they need a babysitter and write yout name and what you are trying to  get yano

thanks so much! I just posted on care . com and I am hoping to find work that way (its the same idea, child care pet care and senior care) and I am certified in cpr and have my early education classes done through a daycare I worked in before nannying. I really hope to find something quickly. I cant believe this happened to me :(

Post on sittetcity. I do geriatric work. Seniors. I have found a lot of side kind and a few permanent positions. Ppl always need reliable care and lots will let u bring your children. It helps if your cpr certified and do a background check. I love that site!! They do child care, pet care, senior care and special needs care. Check it out!!
