Peter (nickname) is in his late forties. We have been friends for years.
He used to be a stay-at-home dad, because he had 3 young daughters. (now they have grown up) He had been doing a few part-time jobs, for example, piano tutor, violin tutor. He can cook very well, too.

Our cake shop has some full-time job vacancies and I think he may be interested in some of them.

I want to talk to my manager about Peter. Here is what I am thinking to tell the manager:

Peter was a stay-at-home dad. He had been unemployed for years. But he was not actually unemployed. He just was not in any full-time employment in the past few years. He had been doing some past time jobs instead.

Since Peter had got some part-time jobs in the past few years,
I don't think the word, unemployed is the good word to be used here.
But I just couldn't think of other better words.

Please also help me rewrite the above sentences if possible.

    Why don't you just tell your manager exactly that, which you wrote in the first paragraph? Seems to be a pretty good explanation of Peter's situation.

He wasn't really "unemployed". Being a stay-at-home parent was his job. (It just didn't pay much moneywise)
