Worried that she’ll be back to where she left off?

Don’t blame her for not wanting to work with kids

Yeah, it's not a good idea to have a resume like that.

VERY relatable!
If you're completely changing careers, THAT can be a Herculean Feat indeed!

(I'm rooting for her! Anyone that can survive working with children, has got the gumption to handle ANYTHING!)

:-D

Even retail?

Children have no restraint, zero PC (Not talkin' 'bout computers here!), and are chaos incarnate when left to their own devices. 's why good parents/guardians/the whole VILLAGE is so vital in their growing up/development, and the learning then honing of such skills.
Anyone with the capacity to handle a classroom of young children, would find retail a welcome relief!

(The single warning I'd give, is expect to deal with ADULT 'Children', and admit that is a skill I have never had, nor any intention of learning!)

Having a spouse who works retail, your description of children is the exact same description of adults in stores! Difference, of course, is that kids act that way because they're kids and don't know any different yet, but adults are that way because they suck and they fully know better but don't care.

Well, it's a hard truth that far too many who live past their teenage and 'Tweens' have never matured into what 'I' call/consider 'Adults.'
Other than 'Fool(s)' I don't know a kinder word to call them.

Being a teacher calls for planning and paperwork. She could work in any kind of office, right?

Just make it more vague and it could sound like an office job.

Yeah, I think she's done working with kids. XD

experience managing destructive little creatures with short attention spans.... does this mean she is a professional cat herder?

"So, what experience do you have that makes you think you are qualified for handling and commanding a SEAL-team under stress?"
"I've been a Kindergarten teacher"
"... sorry, you are overqualified"

You just reminded me of a scene from STAR TREK:THE NEXT GENERATION:

Worf: "Madam, have you ever considered a career in security?"
Brenna O'Dell: "If it's anything like baby-sitting, I'm an authority!"

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
