Work History
Career Break and Family Caregiver
Caregiver
12.2009 - Current
- Following the birth of my first son in 2009, I made the decision to leave the traditional workforce and focus on raising my children and managing our home. This included providing full-time care for my son, who is now 15 years old, and my twins, who are 13 years old. During this time, I took on a range of responsibilities crucial to family management, including:
- Providing daily care and support for my children, ensuring their well-being and development.
- Managing household tasks, such as meal planning and preparation, scheduling appointments, and overseeing household finances.
- Actively engaging in their education, assisting with homework, and participating in school activities.
- Advocating for their needs and coordinating with healthcare providers, schools, and other relevant services.
- Creating a nurturing and supportive environment for my family, especially during challenging times such as the loss of my husband in 2020.
- This period has provided me with valuable skills in organization, time management, communication, and resilience, which I am eager to leverage in my return to the workforce.
