I JUST WROTE THAT PART ON ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT WHAT DAYCARELADY SAID: ''she said she worries that daycare is not seem as a reputable job'' I said not to think of it that way at all. ALL the people I have talked to saying I had a daycare all congradulated me has THEY KNOW it is such a hard thing to do to take care of so many little ones. The fact of MANAGING MY OWN BUSINESS, CREATING MY CONTRACT AND TEMPLATES DOCUMENTS, ORGANIZING SCHEDULES, DEALING WITH CHILDREN'S TEMPER (PSYCHOLOGY) AND BEING A ROLE MODEL AND A TEACHER TO THE CHILDREN... this is all extremely good background to have, trust me I had thumbs up during my interviews.
It is written on my resume : PRIVATE HOME DAYCARE, Self-employed 2011-2013
If you have a detail of your other positions on your resume then detail this one as well, think business wise (like I mentionned above) : Managing (schedules etc), Administrating (contract, ''legal'' documentsetc), Accounting (budgets, tables etc) maybe not mention : sing the Alphabets and 1-2-3 LOL
At my previous job, I use to hire employees and never liked it when I saw a gap in the years, even if they were staying at home parents or caregivers etc.
Plus my reasons for going so out of my field was a big move from one province to another and taking time for my family and I to settle down and get use to the big change that it was, plus not easy to look for a job at such a distance back then, so it was understandable and not suspicious from employers.
