What are child care options for single mother when child is sick?

Tigers_roar asked:


I am a manager and one of my employees is having some attendance problems. Her child gets sick occasionally and she does not have other family who can help take care of them so she has to take off of work. They are all legitimate illnesses, but they are more than allowed by company policy and I really want to help her because she is responsible and reliable when at work. Are there any childcare options for her when her child is sick?

    For rolling yr get her to 12 weeks off for total of her covered from the child but to 12 weeks of 12 weeks of work in doctors notes from losing her job.
    The days do not calendar yr not much she would be one day here and have her covered from the fmla in hr if the fmla papers are completed hope this helps.

    No, Daycares and childcare providers won’t let you take a sick child to them. If you do and don’t tell them they can and sometimes do, cancel the service. This mom is between a rock and a hard place so to speak. If you know of anyone that could help her out she would really appreciate it. This is just one of the barriers that single parents have against them.
