Hi All
First time user here. I have recently moved to Portarlington and looking to return to work. I have a 4 year old daughter who just started school. Previously I had family to help out with childcare but here I am going to have to rely totally on outside care, which will be a new experience for me and my daughter. My head is a bit all over the place at the moment. Not sure whether to look for part-time work which would involve little or no childcare or go back full-time which would mean after-school care. I guess I´m just looking for feedback on how After-School care works, costs etc. before I start the job hunting in ernest.
Thanks
Mary
