I'm so sorry to hear this bad news. Sending you lots of luck in your job hunt! As a nanny, I would hope that families seeking a nanny would be more compassionate and understanding of your situation. Can your previous employer recommend you to anyone? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-172608 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:44:53 +0000 HabesBabe 172608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, that totally sucks. Best of luck finding a new position! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-172582 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:21:11 +0000 sorrycharlie 172582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if you're interested in another childcare position, there are definitely people that need summer positions when the kids are out of school! :) try sittercity.com, that's where I got my position. I've also heard of care.com, but I'm not sure how that site works, as I've never personally used it. </p> <p>Can you put your feelers out in the neighborhood through family/friends that you're available to sit? even just date nights for now? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-172563 Tue, 29 May 2012 17:14:52 +0000 aMohror 172563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you ladies for the encouragement! So far today I have applied for 7 jobs so I'm crossing my fingers! I went in a dropped off one resume and I have never felt so awkward with this bump up until walking in there! They gave me a tour of the place and I'm sure after I left they were all asking each other...is she PREGNANT? lol Oh well.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-172407 Tue, 29 May 2012 15:05:22 +0000 lavender 172407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry!

Crossing my fingers that you'll be able to find something soon.

Can you apply for unemployment? Might be a great way to financially take you all the way until you're ready to go back to work after the baby is born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-171957 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:49:44 +0000 MamaMoose 171957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uh that stinks I'm sorry!! Can you guys make it work for you to just take some extra time off and not go back to work until after the baby? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-171956 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:49:32 +0000 Andrea 171956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am so sorry.

Best of luck in your job hunt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-171950 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:47:48 +0000 autumnlove 171950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no!

Good luck with your search! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-171949 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:47:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 171949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh no!!! i'm so sorry.

Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/30-weeks-along-and-laid-off#post-171946 Tue, 29 May 2012 10:45:45 +0000 aMohror 171946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello Bees,<br /> As of yesterday I'm currently unemployed :( I was working as a nanny and planning on going up until my baby was born and to go back and continue after with my baby. The lady I was working for quit her job a few weeks back and thought she had another job lined up and it didn't work out. So now, here I am, 30 weeks along, totally showing and on the search for a full time job. I'm pretty convinced everyone will just look at me and say no :( Sigh....of course when everything is going great you have to get thrown that stupid curveball.... </p>
