Childcare while job hunting, what worked?, production planner here

The daycare near me wants more than I can pay. I worked as a production planner before this. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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