Overnight care is going to be relatively pricey. I agree with others that she needs to find a job without overnights. You can’t really ask a friend unless it’s super rare, like once every few months.
That said, I do know a single mom who used to work night shift. She would ask friends and they would let her son sleep over because they felt so bad for her (barely scraping by, on the brink of poverty.). But it really messed with her child who needed his mom at night. Kid ended up being diagnosed as bipolar (and he had some violent tendencies), and then the friends stopped letting the boy sleep over since they didnt want their kids to be around a mentally unstable child. Very sad story.
