Childcare while job hunting, what worked? after 4 years as a production planner

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. How long did subsidies take?

Ask the school about after-school programmes. Some are free or based on income.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
