Additionally
I have been away from work for nearly 3 years as I had a new child and then I decided to stay at home to care for my baby and his other siblings and focus on my children. I also had spent some of the time away from work taking care of my father with cancer but he has now passed. Also my elderly grandmother who has also passed recently was someone I had spent time caring for as well during the long stretch of time I have spent unemployed. I now am ready to get back to work and be an employed member of society as my kids are in childcare and I'm no longer needed at home or with other members of my family. I really miss and enjoy being employed and plan to stay working from now on forward.
