: After 15 years of being a state licensed day care provider (and I am proud to say - a good one!!!) I have made the decision to leave the business. I am a bit terrified and yet excited about starting something new, but worried how my last 15 years will be looked at by prospective employers. My two jobs before this were with major corporations, but I am not sure whether or not this will matter, and hoping that someone will see my enthusiasm to learn and be challenged
something worthwhile. Any comments and suggestions on how this could be incorporated into a resume and/or starting a new home business would be appreciated !!
You didn't say what field you want to go into now but, as a suggestion, Why not use you experience to help and guide others going into the same business you spent 15 years in. As a former daycare provider I know just how valuable this kind of help can be. Lesson plans, forms, craft ideas, parent helps, menu ideas, etc. A friend of mine (also in the same field) started a web site with this in mind, but she never followed through with it. To give you an idea, here is her "dead" site http://binaryimages.com/thekidsplace/ She was getting some feed back from her site before she stopped promoting and working with it. Good luck with your new business!
