Affordable childcare options in Knoxville - first time posting

I have 6 kids and I need to interview and work without a sitter. Thank you in advance. A neighbour offered help but not every day. How long did subsidies take?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 6 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

I swapped afternoons with another parent. It took some planning and saved us both money.
