(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) Janel Hulbert spends time with her children Henrik, Cambria, Vebika and Miles, from left, at a park near their home in Roy on Wednesday, July 21, 2021. Hulbert who struggled balancing work and home during the pandemic left her part-time job last fall to take care of her four children, ages 5 to 13. The tipping point was when her youngest was left unattended for nearly two hours on a school bus last fall after he was picked up for preschool.
