Universal Credit / Full Time / Private Renting

Hey! I currently work 3 days a week (25.5hours) but would like to go full time. Are there any mums receiving universal credit currently working full time, has a child in childcare and private renting? I was always told if I do more hours universal credit will stop helping with my rent. I have used a better-off calculator online and it is looking like I may still get help but of course still cautious to take the jump.
