Advice for a Planning Single Mom

Thank you to all the people who take time to answer these ISS forum questions, especially for the newbies like me.

I'm planning on applying not this job cycle but the following (for the 2016-2017 year) and I was hoping to get some advice about how to plan, areas that are good for single parents in terms of family friendly and affordable babysitters, and any tips for marketing myself. I know I'm not as marketable as a teaching couple or single, but I know it can be done...

About me:
I'm a single mom of one dependent (elementary school age).
By the time I apply, I will have taught for 10 years and have a Master's.
I'm certified in English Language Arts, ESL and Special Education; I'm also National Board Certified and AP English certified
I'm looking to add a Spanish cert since I'm also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese
I've led student dance teams, a school-wide mentoring program and community service student groups.
