Ashley, how tied are you to Colorado? People here have given you excellent advice; and if you are open to exploring new places, summer camps and nannying can take you on adventures across the country, or even around the world. Many families in more wealthy communities are looking for nannies to travel with them and keep the kiddies occupied at the beach or even abroad for the summer. If you do this, I would register at several reputable nanny service organizations. Or how about helping with children's programs for a cruise line? Spending your summer on a cruise ship doing activities with kids can't be all bad! [img]wink.gif[/img]

Whatever you do, keep your chin up! Make a list of all of your skills - however insignificant they may seem to you - and see what you can find. Take your list to an employment agency and talk to a counselor there for help in discovering where you can use those skills alone or in any combination.
