re: Job for mom

Secretary at law firm.

Volunteering would be good.

If she wants to be around kids then maybe talk to the local school system.

I have to agree with everyone here who recommended a hospital. I have a relative who is about that age who started volunteering at a hospital doing some very light weight clerical work, answering the phone, and generally greeting people who were there. she ended up doing it for free for about a decade and was offered paid positions several times along the way (which she turned down). she ultimately gave it up, but it did her a ton of good for the time she worked there.

I knew someone would say this.

But, seriously, watching the older women rock the babies to sleep, while mom rests, is awesome. And they do call them "cuddlers". Both the babies and "grandmas" are happy, in no creepy fashion. And mom is super happy to get some sleep.

Remember, wet nurses used to exist. Your baby was nursed by another woman who just had a baby. And THAT was normal. Cuddle nurses don't hold a creepy candle...

A wet nurse is a woman who breast feeds and cares for another's child. Wet nurses are employed when the mother is unable or elects not to nurse the child herself. Wet-nursed children may be known as "milk-siblings", and in some cultures the families are linked by a special relationship of milk kinship.


Yup
