You can't rely on ad-hoc babysitters, so a nanny may be the only other solution. You could explore in-home daycare... maybe somebody would do it after hours.
I have heard of after-hours childcare at large factories which do shift work, and in factory towns.
Thanks for the suggestions. We don’t currently live near any family unfortunately. We are thinking of relocating but that will take time of course. We’ve used a Nanny for other needs in the past so that may be our best option. Or an au pair. Nanny costs add up pretty quickly.
