Affordable childcare options in Omaha - what worked for you?

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. I am willing to trade favours. What worked for you?

Our county's childcare assistance took about 16 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.
