Hello ladies, I am due to return to work soon for 5 days a week. However, I cannot find childcare for 5 days a week and also I can't justify the cost of it all. I was thinking of using up my annual leave for 2 days a week until the end of the year meaning I will only work for 3 days a week. Can someone please help me with writing a professional email to HR? I have drafted what I roughly want to say but I am really struggling with explaining it and I need it to be good enough for them to even consider it. Thank you so much in advance 🥰
