I haven't worked since 2019 due to being 6 months pregnant when my place of employment permanently closed. My baby was born in January 2020 and COVID appeared in March. We didn't know how COVID affected babies and children in particular, and I did not want to put my children at risk. I decided to stay home and continue my education.
