How do you best explain a four year gap in employment on your resume or in an interview due to family issues?

Well was working for a privately owned Business...Didnt add that employer for His Business Reasons... I also was doing House Cleaning and Home remodling( unlisenced residential electrician )

Had gotten married and husband didn't want me to work plus raised grandchildren

I had this problem because I adopted three of my aunts children. While finishing raising the last of the three. She was very busy in her academics and extra curricular activities. Along with working I was her only means of transportation. So it was hard for me to find employment thatvworked with my school schedule, work along with all she had to do. When I did interview they asked me what had I been doing far as employment and I explained self employed because I also did concierge while transporting her. Along with providing daycare for relatives and friends if they needed me.

Shirley, you can't because most employers feel that during four year span things should have changed for the better.

I work at the school cafeteria little while

By stating there was a long term family illness and ending by saying explain in person
