Look specifically for women’s “return to work” programs. Many large organizations have them to support women who took off time to have children.
Have you tried looking for non-profits that help in similar situations? I went through a program for undeserved communities, got free in person courses, certs and networking opportunities which all helped me to get a job.

Also - you may have a 'gap' in your resume where you weren't getting paid for all the labour at home but don't forget what you were doing...
- Scheduling
- Health care assistant / Nurse
- Chauffeur
- Project management
- Marketing
- Conflict resolution (expert)
- Multitasking
- Strong work ethic (you likely rarely got to take a day off sick)
- Work under pressure
You have so many skills to offer a new company; sometimes, its a challenge getting the CV right, cover letters right etc but good luck! Hope you land the job you're after :)
You should be fine to find work even with your gap, but employers are cutting jobs every day. That's what making it difficult for everyone.
I was in a very similar situation and didn’t work for over ten years . Maybe take a job that you’re overqualified for just to get your foot in the door .
