It is impossible to find a day care when you work night shift

Yes, I had one. It was so exhausting I shut it down. Also, too many parents felt they didnt need to pay for their kids staying overnight.

99% of daycares operate something like 7am-6:30pm on weekdays. There are a number of "after hours" or "drop in" daycare places that are open on weekends and late evenings. There is one near me in Maryland that's open until 1am on Friday and Saturday nights. If you like, contact me and I can give you further details.
I have not heard of 24-hour daycares. I doubt they can even be licensed (at least in Maryland). Better stick with a relative, a babysitter, a neighbour, a friend, or a babysitting cooperative.

They have some here in Las Vegas for the families of casino and hospital workers. Try contacting your local hospital HR department to see if they have any suggestions on whom to call.

Have your husband take care of your kids or change your shift. I have only seen one in Lancaster, CA. Your kids are better at home.

Why have kids, dump the night shift job. There are so many other jobs you could get. Choose to put your kids first.
