   It will help if you take more English classes if you are in the US.

   Whatever you do, do not fall for online scams. People will tell you they have a fully remote job, conduct a "phone interview" and tell you that you're immediately hired. Then they will ask for a credit card number (so they can send you your equipment), your social security number or your bank account number for your paycheck. RUN AWAY if anyone approaches you in this way. With no work experience, I worry you could fall victim to these things.

   Visit your local employment centre to use their services. From taking assessments of which jobs are the best fit to working with a case manager to help you find work.

   Check out your local community college and start anESL course. Learning English will be a great advantage for you. The college will also have resources for you to look for jobs. Good luck!!

   IF you are a Spanish speaker, Signature Performance always needs Spanish speakers. It is phone work but you work from home and they provide the equipment. You will want to work on your English for team meetings etc. but you may get hired because they need Spanish speakers. I made roughly $50K last year.

   Raising children is DEFINITELY work, and since you were able to do that successfully, you can learn skills for any job. Check with your local library to see if they offer any free English classes, and talk to friends who have jobs to see what advice they can give you based on your interests and your education. You can do this! :)

   A job listed for someone bilingual. They may be offering training.

   Well, it depends on what you would like to do and what credentials you have or don't have. I know ladies that clean houses and one of my friends has her own house cleaning business. There are ads on Craigslist for those jobs. Your English isn't bad and I think you could find something.

    Your English is good! We understand you! Maybe you work as an interpreter?

    Look into being a virtual assistant. A lot of entrepreneurs need a little assistance with scheduling, booking travel, setting up newsletter/emails, and other basic admin tasks. All of this can be done at home and you can use AI to assist when you're nervous about language barriers. Being a mom is great experience for wrangling adults. Good luck to you!

    Your state unemployment office likely has free services to help with career guidance. I do not believe you need to be on benefits to use them.

    Your English will be a challenge for any office or customer facing roles. Are there things you enjoy?

    It is a blessing to have been able to stay home with your kids. your age is not a problem for anyone, nor is it necessary to share as you move forward in your job search I would refrain from my age. I would first start with a resume of some sort if you have ever had a job if you have not then you may need to start with referrals to get in front of someone and explain that your job has been as a homemaker. You have managed the household. It does sound like a stretch, but you will need to explain why you have never worked a cover letter could say that I am entering the job market now that I am an empty nester. Look at what you’re capable of doing and be honest.. a referral for a bilingual role would be an excellent start.

    I don't know what your interests or skills are, but here is an article written for moms who are re-entering the workforce. The article is written for women who stayed home to homeschool their children, but most of it still applies to any mother who stayed home to care for children and/or manage a home. It helps you see how to translate your home skills into work skills as well as how to figure out what may be a good fit for you. https://everydayhomemaking.com/when-mom-goes-back-to-work/
