Introduce Yourself!

I just turned 60 years old and have been a Caregiver for nearly 13 years.

As intimidating as becoming a student at this age appears initially, I am looking forward to learning new skills. Never too old to learn, right?!

Due to intense and very demanding physicality of type of care giving I provided during COVID Pandemic, I routinely pushed beyond my physical limits which has forced me to drastically reduce number of clients I continue to provide care for in their homes.

Therefore, I am currently "switching gears" to allow my body to recover as best it can as I pursue higher education. 

YouTube is my daily "go to" online resource. Cooking for others is necessity so I watch many food prep videos, paying particular attention to nutritional benefits relating to maintaining optimal health.

While adjusting to this different lifestyle, my goal is to learn a skill set which allows me to work remotely from home PART time so that I may simultaneously continue providing care for those currently in my life.

Though demands of my job leaves little time for me to pursue my own hobbies, a sample of my wide ranging interests include:

sustainable living, music/entertainment, innovative technology, extremely interested in the human condition/experience and impact technology has on our lives in ALL capacities.

Found this community while researching Lenovo laptops before my next purchase.

Looking forward to meeting you all.

Amazing story Lisa! It's never too late for us to become students

Happy to have you hear with us! Do you have a specific remote work skillset you're after, or are you still in an exploration phase?

Wow, I can relate. I'm an unofficial caregiver, but finding it hard to sustain without an income. In the process of figuring out. Good for you that you're taking time out for yourself and create the future you see for yourself!
