I'm a CPA as well, but while you have a young child, can you just do bookkeeping at home. In Pittsburgh, a company called Bookminders, I believe. Or you could advertise and do tax returns from your home in the Spring. Also, jobs in retail are very flexible as far as moms schedules.

I will look into these options— thank you!

I think it depends. My youngest just went off to kindy, but at the day care we used the full time cost was $900/month for a highly regarded, family owned center. He started off there as an infant, and our pricing stayed the same throughout the time we were there.
