[quote=Anonymous]I am 56, when my kids were little I stayed home w/them while my husband worked + supported us. Then when kids started school, I went to Jr. College & earned my Associate of Science Degree. Then got divorced after graduating and have worked as an in-home Nanny since 2010. I initially was going to go to University after completing my A.S. to earn my Bachelor’s but once I got divorced then I had to work. I have had about five families I worked for, and only two were willing to pay me on-the-books. These two families I cannot use as job references because one passed away and the other moved overseas. I am trying to find a suitable job right now to fully support myself, I live in low-income housing currently and am desperate to move out, into a regular apartment. (Too much crime/drugs/etc.) Because some of my other families did not want to pay me legally I unfortunately cannot use them on any job applications or resumes. My DIL told me that I can only get hired at Walmart or McDonald’s but I have my A.S. plus I HAVE worked full-time the past fifteen yrs. so I think I can get something a little better paying than fast food? Or is there no hope for me?? [/quote]
