What You Need to Know About Overnight Childcare

For many families, overnight childcare can be a game-changer. Whether you work late shifts, travel for business, or simply need a restful night, having a trusted caregiver available overnight offers peace of mind. At Joy’s Sitters, we provide flexible overnight care options designed to meet the needs of busy parents and ensure children are well cared for during the night.

How Our Overnight Care Works

Our overnight care service allows parents to book a qualified sitter who will stay with their child(ren) throughout the night. This service is ideal for parents who work late or have early morning commitments, and it ensures that children remain in a safe and familiar environment while their parents are away.

Overnight Care Hours & Pricing

  • Standard overnight hours: 10 PM – 6 AM

  • Rate: Overnight care is a flat rate of $100, unless wakeful care is required.

  • Booking for non-members: Additional $30 agency fee

  • Extended care: Regular hourly rates apply outside of overnight hours (before 10 PM or after 6 AM).


 

Options for Overnight Childcare

We offer two types of overnight care depending on the needs of your family:

Sleeping Overnight Care

This is the most common option, where the sitter is present in the home while the children sleep. The sitter is available if needed but is allowed to rest when not actively attending to the child. This option is great for:

  • Parents who work night shifts and need someone to monitor their children while they sleep.

  • Occasional date nights or getaways where parents won’t be home until morning.

  • Children who generally sleep through the night but need an adult present just in case.

Wakeful Overnight Care

Some children require more active supervision throughout the night. In this case, the sitter remains alert/awake and provides continuous care. This option is ideal for:

  • Infants who wake up frequently for feedings.

  • Children with medical needs who require monitoring.

  • Parents who prefer a sitter to remain awake for added security and responsiveness.

 


 

Benefits of Overnight Childcare

1. Peace of Mind for Parents

Whether you have an early flight, a night shift, or an emergency, knowing that your child is in capable hands allows you to focus on your responsibilities without worry.

2. Comfort and Stability for Children

Children get to stay in their own home, following their normal nighttime routine, which minimizes stress and disruption.

3. Support for Working Parents

For parents with non-traditional work hours, overnight childcare provides a much-needed solution that allows them to maintain their careers while ensuring their child is cared for.

4. Flexibility to Fit Your Needs

From occasional overnight stays to a more regular arrangement, our overnight services can be tailored to suit your family’s specific needs.
