Affordable childcare options in Salt Lake City - first time posting

The daycare near me wants more than I can pay. I worked as a web developer before this. A neighbour offered help but not every day. Is there an emergency option?

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

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