The Guernsey County Department of Job and Family Services assists families in a variety of areas to resolve personal issues.
Families are often unable to provide adequate daycare for their children.
Employees will assist clients to locate child day care providers. If eligible, financial assistance may also be provided to offset costs to the already stressed household income. Through December 1999, child care was provided for nearly 600 children of clients who were working or going to school. Child care services are coordinated with over 100 private vendors. Transportation issues for the clients of the Guernsey County Department of Job and Family Services may also present difficulties in may areas.
