Part-time jobs that fit around childcare

I am looking for part-time work that fits around school hours and found a few evening shifts near Louisville. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. Some roles have a small tuition benefit. Has anyone worked these shifts?

Ask whether the schedule is posted in advance and how they handle swaps. It matters a lot with kids.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
