By Overnight Sitting
Nurses who work night shifts have a unique childcare issue, particularly if their children are not yet in school or are home for holidays or during the summer.
One solution, particularly if you live in a college or university town, is hiring a student to sleep in your home overnight. You can offer the student what you feel is fair in terms of payment. Hungry or homesick students may be willing to negotiate the pay for extras, such as meals and additional snacks to take back home.
This solution is well suited if your children go to school or daycare. The sitter can get up with the kids and send them off on their day, allowing you to come home to a quiet house to get some sleep before the children have to be picked up from school or daycare.
