FWB stay over when kids are asleep

I met a lovely guy on Tinder and we have agreed to have a casual relationship. However, with limited babysitting options, im struggling to work out where and when we meet. I'm really considering asking him to come to mine when my dc's are sleeping but i feel some kind of shame in that. Can't explain why. Has anyone ever done this?
It feels morally wrong but I really struggle to get childcare as my two dc's are young. Also, he lives 46 miles away. It will end up costing £90 for a babysitter and petrol, just to scratch my itch!. He is prepared to come to mine but id want him gone before sunrise.
After a 15 year relationship, and being single only 6 months, i don't know how I feel about a man coming round here.
Also worried about the youngest (12 months) waking up. Might be awkward if we're in the middle of something!

I think if you got to know him he could visit in the evening but for him to stay the night and leave before sunrise isn't quite the same for me. Doesnt your baby ever wake up in the night?

LonginesPrime, thanks for the idea. I had thought of that but It's very early on in our casual relationship to suggest that. I don't really know his finances too well but maybe I will give a hint a hotel in due course.
