The search for childcare can stress parents

One of the biggest stressors for my husband and me as new parents was the prospect of finding affordable childcare. If you’ve watched the news, talked to parents, or scrolled through social media, you’ve probably heard the complaints. I had, as well, but it was an entirely different thing than a lived experience until the birth of our daughter. The prospect of finding someone to trust with your child and paying them thousands of dollars each year is daunting.
