If as reported she is a dietitian for Davita, she either worked at the Davita dialysis center located just south of White Water in Marietta Ga.or she did home nutrition visits the same way a home health nurse would.
Davita is a Fortune 500 company

Patients in ESRD End Stage Renal Disease have to really watch what they eat. They are usually having to get dialysis 3x a week in order to stay alive and most are on kidney transplant lists. They have blood drawn frequently and based on the results the dietitian advises them as to what they should and should not consume.
Whether she worked in the office, did home visits or some of both, these are people she would be interacting with at the least on a monthly basis if not a weekly one and she would be in touch with the office several times a day to get lab results for her patients in order to assist them with their nutritional needs.
The renal dietitian is an integral part of their life line to keep them functioning and healthy until they can have a transplant.
The job she had isn't like selling Mary Kay or Pampered Chef. These peoples lives were literally in her hands. She could not have a toddler on her hip while working period.
If she didn't work at Davita then nothing I said applies.
