First, TC, I want to tell you how impressed I am. Babies that need to be cuddled and rocked need you..they need people like you who is drawn to them and can give time.
The 12th step of AA and Al=Anon says "we are at our best when we help others"...I didn't quote it correctly but that is what it means. That step is one that I think about frequently because I am a different person when I am helping someone. Completely happy and focused. Unfortunately, I do not do enough for others and I need to do what you are doing and step up.
Use one "distant" relative as a reference. Go to your boss and explain your situation. Be candid. Contact one person that you worked with in your previous job.
Use me.....:-) xoxox pat
