I am currently not working as I wanted to spend as much time as possible with my children while they were little, but now that they are in school, I am ready to pursue my passion and would expect a salary between 25,000-30,000 to start with.

Your answer is nice and clear, which the interviewer will appreciate. Be sure to do some research on payscale.com or a similar site to ensure you aren't undercutting yourself with this specific salary ask :)

I appreciate your diplomatic answer. It's not usually a good idea to provide an exact salary number until you receive an offer. However, you can assure the interviewer that you have a flexible salary range or ask the interviewer to share what the range is for the role.
