Hello Brenda. I don't know how much help I can be, but, I too wanted to prevent "child abuse", more specifically in my case "early childhood trauma," so I created my own job. I formed Smile At Your Baby! Now, though I AM doing work that I love and find incredibly satisfying, I am doing it all as a volunteer. Certainly, the hope is that one day Smile At Your Baby! will be able to pay it's Executive Director a salary. I formed SAYB in Feb. of 2011 and don't anticipate being able to take a salary for another year or two. If you'd care to discuss the possibility of doing some volunteer work for SAYB, I'm happy to have a conversation with you. Best of luck to you! :D Shelley
