Gaps in work history

From July 2004 to August of 2005 I was transitioning from the military into civilian life and was seeking employment using the skills I learned in the Air Force. Also, a dear family friend with a chronic illness needed a caretaker to assist with ADLs and I was happy to be able to help and it encouraged me to pursue a nursing career.

From August 2007 to December 2010 I was working part time jobs and completing classes to further my education to reach my goal of becoming a pediatric nurse.

From April 2012 to September 2012 I was caring for two young family members due to legal and drug issues of their mother who was unable to care for them.
