Interesting change! I think that working with kids means you're organized and ready for anything, which is definitely something that's required for retail. If you're still looking for what skills are needed in retail, why not look at a few retail job descriptions to see the kind of person they're looking for? That way, you can tweak your resume to reflect these skills.
