Unemployment is usually only allowed wherein you are layed off and it is not a firing for cause or do to medical issues wherein you were simply replaced or basically the business let people go. It is not about not being able to work due to only being able to work nights for babysitting issues. You can certainly apply but you may be denied.

Unfortunately for you based upon the question that you submitted you will not be able to collect unemployment benefits so long as you are still working. In order to collect such benefits you have to be laid off or terminated from your place of employment.
