... salaries, I want to go and try to work for another job. Can I now arrange for care for a child up to the age of 6, and go to work for another job (officially), and then return to my previous place of work?

At the request of a woman or persons who actually take care of a child, during their stay on leave to care for a child, they may work part-time or at home (Part 8, Article 179 of the Labor Code).
The legislation does not specify where a woman on maternity leave should work part-time: in the main position or in a part-time position.
Therefore, during maternity leave, a woman has the right to go to work and work part-time (0.5 or 0.75 rates), including part-time, and this will not affect her maternity leave and social benefits.
