Affordable childcare options in Portland - first time posting

My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. Thank you in advance. A neighbour offered help but not every day. Is there an emergency option?

Libraries and community centres run free activities that gave me a couple of hours.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
