This study explores the forms of childcare and the social support received by female employees at the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Makassar. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative method with a sociological approach, the research draws upon both primary sources—interviews and observations—and secondary sources, including literature and scripture. The findings indicate that parenting styles adopted are primarily authoritarian and democratic. Moreover, female employees receive both moral and caregiving support from colleagues and family members.
