Juggling Work and Caregiving

Last week I attended the conference on The Working Caregiver and posted here some of the great info I received from that conference. I also met Amy Goyer who is the Family Caregiving Expert from AARP.

Her presentation was powerful as she detailed her long career in marketing and communications while caring for both parents thru long, serious illnesses.

Amy shared with us--and I shared with you--the resources for caregivers on the AARP website--and that fun Public Service Announcement with Jeff Foxworthy. But here is more:

Amy has also written a book about being a working (employed) caregiver and all of the challenges that come with having a job out side the home while having a huge caregiving job at home. Her book is called "Juggling Work & Caregiving" and it is FREE! Isn't that great.

But even better it is free and easy--you can download on Amazon a pdf or right to your Kindle.

That's the kind of practicality a busy caregiver needs.

Here is the link below: Click and get your free copy of Amy Goyer's book, and share this with your HR Department too.
