Back into work with a gap

Hi everyone I'm looking for some advice on getting back into work. Abit of background I went straight into work after school for 5 months before starting a 3 year college course I was also working 2 days a week on placement too. My last year of college I fell pregnant and had a bad pregnancy so decided to take early leave and went back when baby was 5 weeks old to complete my course. As I missed so much of my baby while at college my idea was to take some time out of work until my baby was In nursery, learn to drive and get back into work. When my baby started nursery I started to look for work but then lost a baby and ended up hospitalised and had 2 operations which took its toll and caused more health issues and I was unable to have more children naturally. Luckily my partner was in a good job so we weren't struggling and I concentrated on getting better. I was then a full time mum. As my ds got older I started a job just 2 hours a day during this time I started ivf which I worked around work. After 2 years of working there I was made redundant. I had my little miracle who started school and low and behold covid hit! My partner works shifts and can be out at different times which makes it hard for me to get certain jobs. If any of my dc are ill I have no one to care for them other than me. After Xmas I want to start looking for something part time but as there's gaps in my history I really don't want to be judged for it or them think I'm unreliable. What do I write in my cv? How do I say I can only do certain hours to care for dc as my partner works shifts and out of hours too? I'm a little nervous to start working too and I love been with my dc more than anything but I kind of feel like I've done nothing else with my life I feel like my dc won't be proud of me as I've just been mum and dad's dad and provides if that makes sense. I want them to be proud off me to look back and think yes I did do something. It might not be what I want to do but I did something. Sorry this is so long.
