I agree with Al, the fact that this recruiter is asking you to have your former employees violate their company policy would be a red flag to me! Unless it's some kind of underhanded honesty test - "Let's see if she's willing to bend the rules if there's something in it for her"? In which case I might still not want to have anything to do with them, but you might want to give her a call on Monday and say you took the weekend to consider it, but you couldn't feel comfortable asking your former employers to disregard their company policy. They may appreciate your integrity! If you have a friend or non-family member who would be willing to act as a personal reference, you could offer their contact information as well.
And never be afraid to tell your parents the truth. Even if they react badly, at least you won't have the constant tension of worrying about their finding out hanging over your head! And they may surprise you with their support.
