most of the traveling ladies that pass through require 1 to 2 references that are current. This is a problem because most providers around here are certainly nobody reliable enough I'd want to use as a reference.Sounds to me based on your original question that Vivian would be the logical choice. She's in your town, comes highly recommended and she has a plan for newbies.
My question - how do I overcome this? Can you recommend any providers that are willing to be flexible?
