You can work when (a) she is with someone (b) she is having a daytime nap (c) she is passed out for the day. Realistically you will not have contiguous stretches to work longer than an hour or two, frequently down to just 15-20 minutes, when you will need to get up and attend to the child. Regardless how short these breaks are they are the source of frustration. You just cannot concentrate. The best option is to work at night, but that yields 3 hours of work time and still manages to cut into sleep time and quickly leads to exhaustion. You may want to look at Provigil and caffeine tablets, because you will be counting every single free minute available for work. So, yeah, sorry, it is really tough. Brace yourself, it will suck, but taking your girl out of daycare is the right thing to do. Letting random people have major influence on the formation of child's personality in this early age is just plain wrong.
