Returning to work - Email

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 🥰

Have you heard of the charity Pregnant Then Screwed? This is exactly what they can help with. They have HR professionals who can draft for you and support when you receive a reply back.

Definitely recommend taking a look https://pregnantthenscrewed.com/advice-services/
