What can I do for affordable childcare? I'm about to go back to work and I just don't think I can swing it. I know you can get assistance but I'm stressing about the waiting lists, daycares only being open from like 7 am-530pm in my area. And they aren't open on weekends. My job is 9am-7pm and I have to have weekend shifts as well. I don't know what to do.
