I am needing some ideas on how to make my job sound as important as it was. I was a home daycare provider for 16 years and I don't want employers thinking I just stayed home and babysat all of that time.
I was registered with the state and taught the kids with a preschool curriculum and there was a lot more to it that even that. I just need some kind of wording. Or does someone know where I can find the right wording? Resumes writers want over $200.00 to do it.
The thing is, that I don't want to teach now or work in a daycare. I want to do something entry level in an office setting. A receptionist or something like that just to get my foot in the door. I can type but not great. I can use office word but I am not proficient at it. I am teaching my self Microsoft office suite 2007 right now. I did work in an office 30 years ago but I was a cashier and did not work on a computer. I'm not cutting myself down. I'm just being honest. I didn't really do book keeping so much as I just added the totals up (on paper) of my costs and income and gave it to my husband to file the income tax. Maybe there is no way I can get an entry level office job.
Thanks for your help.

I ran a child care out of my home and when I put it on my resume, I listed it as Child Care Owner/Provider.....and you did a lot of organzing to keep up with those demands...think of all you did, menus, keeping state stuff current, communications, advertising your business, etc.
Hi, get some examples of teacher resumes from the internet and use those. Also, you'll want to describe your business sense i.e. accounting, bookkeeping, time management, etc
You ran your own office from your home, so you have office experience. You did bookkeeping, receptionist work dealing with the parents, coordinated food schedules and time management with nap. Just give yourself some credit because keeping our precious angels is a full-time and rewarding job. You don't need to hire anyone for a resume. There are plenty of go bys on the computer. good luck.
