childcare center/nursery, nanny, family support, adjusted work schedule Availability is ok, but too expensive.

Biggest challenges & their impact
Looking back, what were the biggest childcare challenges (e.g., long waiting times, affordability, quality, location, etc.) your family faced? How did these challenges impact your work and family life?
affordability I relied on family support until my son was old enough that we feel comfortable to send him to daycare from Monday to Friday. We were lucky to find a very responsible nanny during that time so she could come and help us on Saturday. I got the time I need to work, but the cost is a major challenge, which limits other aspects of our family life.
One thing to change
If you could change one thing about today's childcare system, what would it be? (For example: access, affordability, quality, employer or university support, emergency backup care, or anything else.)
