Hi Tasha!
That's not true, you have PLENTY of experience from taking care of your relatives and children! You just need to frame it in the right way for your resume and interviews.
Read this conversation, and then take a stab at redoing your resume! I promise it will help you in the job search.
Best of luck, Tasha! You have got this!

Tasha,
You have experience! Highlight the experience as being a full time caregiver and you will land a caregiver job. Do you realize how many baby boomers there are out there. The possibilities are endless. I did it for 13 years and I am now stereotyped but I want other types of employment so I do not apply for those positions. You might highlight the experience by saying I was a stay at home caregiver for my family, I administered medication, did wound care, checked B/P and B/S levels and prepared meals. In my case it was 2 patients a spouse and my neighbor next door which had Alzheimer's and was a flight risk. Be detailed in what you did and you will definitely land a job.
