Believe me, you're making more than your childcare provider! $900 may seem like a lot, but when you consider the expenses of providing care the money goes REALLY fast! ;-)
As the previous poster indicated, unless the child is in state custody there will be no subsidy or child care assistance available. You would have to meet the same requirements for child care subsidies in your area as you would if it was your biological child. The mother may qualify for Medicaid prior to the birth if she does not have a stable income, but unless the child has special needs they probably will not qualify after.
