Single mom looking to start investing

I am 35 years old, and a single mom to a toddler. I really know nothing about investing or anything like that, but I want to make sure me and my daughter are secure in the future. I don’t make a lot of money, but housing is included in my career. A lot of my paycheck that comes out is taken for health insurance so I’m only taking home 30 something a year. I started a high-yield savings account for my daughter, but only have a couple hundred in it but I figured that would grow (through ally savings). Other than that, please tell me where I can start investing and just being secure financially. (Located in USA).
