It definitely does here. I would probably go with what @JerricaBenton: said and say self-employed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-whats-my-occupations#post-1794275 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:25:30 +0000 LaughLines 1794275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SAHM may be valuable to a preschool, they could look at that and think "oooo another mom to help with PTA, etc, etc" If you do any volunteer work you should emphasize that as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/quick-whats-my-occupations#post-1794212 Fri, 01 Aug 2014 12:05:54 +0000 JerricaBenton 1794212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually put 'self-employed' on all forms.

I stay home with the kids. I have no clue how to word this! I think I used "homemaker" for my mom on school forms but I don't know if that is outdated now? </p>
