We had this exact same problem with my daughter, now 16 months. My daughter stays with my parents on Mondays and home with me on Fridays. At first, she was in a daycare facility and never took consistent naps (some days only 25-30 minutes of sleep!) which just made our evenings together miserable because she was soooo tired. I eventually moved her into a licensed in-home daycare where all the kids took naps at similar times and she began sleeping much more regularly. I know this is not the best answer, but this is what worked best for us.
