Do I need childcare when I work from home?

Childcare costs in DC can be a huge burden. When either parent works from home, it may be tempting to cut out the childcare budget and just have the parent juggle work responsibilities and childcare at the same time.

For some this can be accomplished; for others, it’s impossible.

Here are some signs you may need childcare when you work from home.

- Your job has a policy stating you must have childcare
- You have a job that requires you spend most of the day on the phone
- You have a job that has set hours in place- even though you are a home you can’t just work when you feel like it
- You notice that you don’t get much work done because your children keep interrupting.
