Affordable childcare options in San Diego, graphic designer here

I have 11 kids and I need to interview and work without a sitter. I looked into subsidies but the forms are long. Is there an emergency option?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 2 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.
