Overnight Babysitter Needed for Loving, Active 6 year-old Child (Special Needs Experience Preferred)

Posted by Faith J. on 4/10/2026

  • $15.00 per hour

Hi, I’m a working mom looking for a reliable and trustworthy overnight sitter for my 6-year-old son. I work overnight shifts at Amazon and need someone available on a consistent schedule.

My son is on the autism spectrum. He is verbal but still learning to form full sentences. He is very active and has a lot of energy in the evenings, so I’m looking for someone patient, attentive, and able to keep up with him. He usually settles down and goes to sleep around 9:00 PM.

After bedtime, the job is mostly just being present to make sure he is safe through the night, with minimal tasks unless he wakes up.

I’m looking for someone dependable, calm, and genuinely caring. Experience with children on the spectrum is a plus, but not required if you are patient and willing to learn. I would like to do a trial run first to make sure it’s a good fit.

Schedule is typically 4 nights a week from around 6:30 PM to 5:00 AM.

Pay will be higher during evening hours and a flat overnight rate after bedtime. Pay is negotiable based on experience.

Please reach out if you’re interested. Thank you!
