Affordable childcare options in Baltimore - 2 weeks in

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. This is my first time dealing with any of this. I am willing to trade favours. What worked for you?

Our county's childcare assistance took about 2 weeks to approve, but it covered most of the cost.

I swapped afternoons with another parent. It took some planning and saved us both money.
