What can I DO?

Lately I feel the need to DO something. I mean, sure I'm a stay at home mom of 3, so technically I have plenty to do and can't get caught up.

I would like to start babysitting and at least I would be contributing financially to our family while still being with my kids. I am also looking for a way to give back to others. I really think that I would like to volunteer and help foster children in some way. I think if I could give foster parents some relief by babysitting or something similar it would be perfect. I just really have no idea where to find out how I can help. If anyone knows of volunteer programs in Louisiana, please pass along that info.

Do you know any other foster parents in Louisiana? If you did, that would be a good place to ask. Here, you can provide respite care, which is to step in and keep the kids for a few days to give the foster parent a break. You and your husband would have to go through all the training and background checks and clases to do respite care. If you know someone, you could keep their foster children for them, you just have to have your background checks to have them in your home. I don't know the requirements for Louisiana. There may be other opportunities....you might could try contacting your local DHS office for info.
