Health Tip: When You’re a Caregiver With a Full-Time Job

Caregiving is a stressful, time-consuming job that’s even more difficult when you also work outside the home.

Here are suggestions for working caregivers, courtesy of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

Discuss your situation with your boss, expressing your commitment to being a productive employee. Ask about working from home and other flexible options.
Don’t isolate yourself. Seek help from friends and family.
Take care of yourself physically and mentally. Get regular exercise, plenty of sleep, eat a nutritious diet and relax as much as possible.
