Allyson Felix worried about finding child care when she headed back to the track. The Olympian is working to change that for all parents

Earlier this year, Allyson Felix brought child care to U.S. track and field events – not just for herself, but for every parent working at the event. And it was free.

Felix knows that matter what your job, child care can be a hurdle – even if you are an 11-time Olympic medalist. "My eyes were just opened when my daughter [Camryn] was eight months old and I went back to competing," Felix told CBS News. "I was traveling everywhere with her, and I just felt like the world was not set up for me to do that. It was just really, really difficult."

At the 2020 Summer Olympics, for example, Felix couldn't bring her daughter due to COVID-19 restrictions. Olympic marathoner Aliphine Tuliamuk got the decision appealed so she could bring her nursing baby. Many parents, however, had to leave their children behind.
