Does shifting to part time work bring in enough income to justify sending bebe to daycare or nanny? (Genuine question, not judging!)

That’s fantastic!
I don’t have personal experience but happy to pass along my friend/colleagues experience:
What has worked for my colleague going part time is she’s adjusted to full days on/off. She does not work Mondays and Fridays, and works T/W/Th. She sends le bebe to daycare three days and then is home two days.
She said that it was better this way- it’s like someone taking a long weekend versus her logging off at at say, 2 or 3, when people are still working and expect answers.
Occasionally she has to work a Monday but just swaps Thursday for it. I’m not sure how she works that out with daycare/her wife.

I’ll also say she’s not in a client facing role, and her job is extremely consistent (we’re in tech). So that’s a major factor

One other thing is that she’s at 24 hours a week so she’s retained certain benefits being over 20 hours.
