I understand what you're asking for, u/vm_x2a_nix. To clarify for other users: the wall box in your room is installed horizontally so the nightlight is sideways, and you want a switched receptacle in your daughter's room.
This will handle the receptacle in your bedroom, and this is your solution for your daughter's room without having to run any new Romex.
Hope this helps.
Our house has every single outlet with the ground prong facing up. It is the first house I've ever lived in that has them that way and I hate it. It drives me nuts. I've replaced the one in the laundry room with a rotating receptacle in order to use it at all due to clearance. I've had to make sure to purchase plug-in refresheners that have rotating plugs (pretty much Febreeze and only Febreeze, which are expensive as hell, and yeah I know they are supposedly fire hazards). Almost every flat extension cord you can find expects the ground pin on the bottom, so I have to deal with the one behind the couch pointing up and unnecessarily straining the cord.
Every Kill-A-Watt and timer I have expects the ground pin on bottom, so I have to deal with every display, every text, every read-out being upside down. One of these days, I'm going to reorient every one of them.
I get the ground-makes-contact-first argument, but I think it's unsubstantiated hogwash. The probability is just too low. I don't keep boxes of paperclips, staples, or sheet metal near outlets where they can fall from directly above onto exposed prongs. Plus, the 2014 NEC mandated AFCIs in all branch circuits feeding dwelling unit rooms, not just bedrooms. So there is better protection in new construction from the get-go. If we stood to gain anything appreciable in terms of safety, the NEC would have already made the ground-pin-up orientation mandatory.
Edit: add links
They have rotating ones:

Wouldn't put any heavy loads on them though
The Amazon ones claim 360 on the package. I'd trust the 270 degree ones more I think, although it would be fun to dissect one to see how sturdy the power busses are.

How exactly are those cheaper or simpler?
