Question about Stipend

That's awesome news. Thanks! That will be helpful - always the biggest expense, it seems. I'm assuming the childcare has to be with a certified person/business?? What about evening childcare for a couple of hours of "mommy time?" (I wouldn't guess the state pays for that, but for as few times as I need it, that's ok). Does that person have to be certified, too, or can I use my regular sitters? Thanks for the info!
