[QUOTE="DriverNerd, post: 2082211, member: 61439"] The bad news is finding an overnight sitter to work part time hours reliably is very difficult. Finding one to work full time over night is very easy. So if you're not looking for another part time job to supplement your UPS one, your best bet is to try sittercity.com or care.com (as said above). Try to find someone who is okay with those hours...which isn't impossible, just need to get lucky with someone who has another job that butts up to yours and is looking for more hours. My ex and I share the same nanny whom we found on care.com. When you search for a sitter, be very specific in the ad about what you expect, the hours, and the pay. If you're not close to a larger city this can be difficult (smaller number of applicants), but also pay rates are lower usually the farther you get from a major city as well. And yes, it's tough to pay someone a majority of your hourly rate. It's very difficult to manage overnights part time. Sometimes you just have to move on from the job (or switch shifts if available) to make things work. Not an ideal situation of course, but you'll do whatever it takes for your kids. [/QUOTE]
