May be you have to reconsider that. For example, my mom worked as babysitter and currently takes care of elderly and can spend hours to feed the person. And I know couple other people like that. Just look for the right person!

Natacha,
You will need to soon to learn to trust a stranger with your baby. It is as american as a squirrel digging and burying nuts all over your yard.
Unless you have a boatload of $$$, hiring a babysitter or your sister coming to visit for the purpose of taking care of her, you are screwed by the system. Having a child in this country is one of those expensive things which all immigrants should be warned about before putting one in the oven. I have a live-in nanny, she takes care of my son, but I am very unhappy about her..
My wive stayed home with our my son for 5 months, but she had to go back to work, so we had to hire a baby sitter (27 yrs), and we fired her in 2 weeks. So, we had to hire a nanny, and it is expensive not because you pay them weekly, they live in your house, use your utilities, pass gas in your house, use your kitchen appliances and having another adult in the house is a challenge on its own. All babies need a lot of attention, but look for a babysitter who can make your girl happy, play with her and show her all the affection she needs, so that she doesn't miss a beat of her infant days. For the record, my nanny stays with my son for 8 1/2 hours a day, so find the right person. 
I am looking for daycare for my son because my nanny needs to go before I sin against her. I live in DC and an average cost of a daycare is about $1500 per month, so if you think your problems are bigger, think again. worst of all, wait time for infants is about 12 months and my son is 10 months... There is a day care which we like, but it cost $1750 per month. Good luck an don't sweat it too much and I can assure you that you trust strangers all the time. Have you taken a cab lately? How about giving someone your credit card to pay for something? How about allowing a dr to examine your child? If you didn't trust the cab drive to take you from point A to B, then wouldn't ride in this cab.

Even USCs struggle with child care issues. If your child has such big problems,you do not need to be going to school. Your child should be your first concerm. Since you are comfortable going to school rather than remaiining with your child, you are manufacturing excuses to make your position look better.
