Guest guest Posted November 4, 2012 Report Share Posted November 4, 2012 Look into the YMCA, some have special needs after school program.Sent from my iPad I am going back to work soon, and I need childcare for my 11yr son who is on the spectrum as well as my 6 yr old daughter who is typical. I signed up for respite but it only offers average of 10 hours a week which is not enough. For those moms who work and do not have a sufficient support system of friends and relatives, what suggestions does anyone have so I can work and have sufficient childcare?Is there any organizations besides respite?Also, I do retail so my hours vary and include some nights and weekends. Thanks for any recommendations. Debbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
