Can we claim child care expenses even though my husband was unemployed in 2018, but I was employed full time?

My husband was looking for work in 2018 while I was full time employed. He did not collect any income. We incurred child care expenses while he was looking for work. Can we claim these expenses?

Unfortunately, you cannot claim child care expenses if you are not working.
