Because I am a single parent, it is important that I hold down a full time job while also obtaining excellent childcare for my children during the day.  Since the cost of daycare is so overwhelming, it seemed like I was always working just to have a place for my children to go and nothing was going to pay the bills.  Someone recently told me about government daycare assistance that is available for parents in need of help.  It didn’t take long to find out that I qualified and before long I had obtained childcare at an extremely reduced rate.  I now have enough to pay my bills as well as care for my children.
