    My hours will change when I find a job and childcare is my biggest worry. It has been weighing on me all week. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. Is there an emergency option?

    Our county's childcare assistance took about 24 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.
