Question for those doing degree with children

Hi, I am doing access and Ou courses, just wondering the ones of you with young children what do you do when you are on a placement that involves night work. I know finding a childminder or Nursery will not be a problem for day time, even evening shifts but have no idea regarding night times. I have no support from family etc so can't get anyone there, my eldest is 15 so would be 16 then, he is a great help and really supportive and proud of me doing this, but I dont like the thought of him watching them all night
Any ideas?

I have found a childminder who helps me out with night times - although it obviously costs a lot! However, it means I don't have to always rely on family or friends to help out. Although, they do when they can, and i try and have a big list of people that I can call on. Don't forget, there maybe someone if your cohort who is also in exactly the same position and you could come to some sort of arrangement.

i dont have children myself, but i do look after my friends little boy when she works nights. Im only 17, but i look after him all night. Have you thought about asking a friends responsible teenager or something to that effect?
