There are also roomate finding services that might be able to assist you, including some that specifically cater to single moms.

If this is an option you would like to consider, be sure to take your child's feelings into account if the mom in question has kids your children just do not get along with, particularly if they will be sharing a bedroom. But that said, these kinds of situations will often create lifelong friendships, for both you and your kids.
