Additional Information

There are plenty of gaps in employment which was due to taking care of my ill mother and daughter at the time. I know with all jobs it's a business so they couldn't continue to have me on staff or hire me knowing that I would have to take extensive time off to deal with my personal issues. As of right now I no longer have that issue as my mother passed in 2013 and my daughter is now in the navy since 2018. Therefore, I'm ready to work, train and guide me, so that I can do my job effectively then there will be no need for micromanaging.
