My HOOman left me at home to go cheer on at the game. #GOHoos
Replying to @Citi
@Citi please put me in touch with someone in your legal department by close of business July 14. Phone calls are pointless, hopefully tweets will send the message loud and clear

Replying to @Citibank
@Citibank checking is the worst. They locked me out of my acct for possible fraud and THEY can't figure out how to get me back in because of an issue on their end! I need to pay my #eldercare provider. The last thing I need is THIS!

Today was a disaster in my #eldercare world, and many had it even worse. Our system is broken @DeniseMBrown3 is working to help. #infastructure @timkaine @MarkWarner youtu.be/qx7atRW2FRY
THANK YOU @BrigidSchulte for this piece! Ironically I just saw it today because I was taking time off work to care for my LO in the hospital. We need more pieces that shine light on this topic!
It’s unconscionable that in the US, time to care for dying loved ones is a luxury few can afford. I was lucky. We shouldn’t leave it to luck and privilege - my latest in ⁦@washingtonpost⁩ ⁦@BetterLifeLab⁩ #paidleave washingtonpost.com/outlook/d…

Thank you @melindagates for mentioning #eldercare as part of caregiving and gender inequality with @SavannahGuthrie! We need more of that kind of conversation!

As 1 of 44 million woman providing #eldercare for a family member, keeping seniors out of hospitals and nursing homes especially during the #pandemic why are WE not also early candidates for the @vaccine? @cdc @SenatorCollins @SenatorCasey

Replying to @CDCgov
@CDCgov I don't see family #eldercare providers listed as essential for the #vaccine. We are undocumented frontline workers!
Thank Kathy for helping me shine a light on #eldercare and career!
Thanks to @karavanderpool2 for her inspiring story of the ultimate “bend and snap”: Caregiving to multiple generations, brilliantly managing a career, and learning to laugh along the way. #workingdaughtersday #caregivers #wcw #workingmom #eldercare #WomeninBusiness

Minutes from logging on for the first-ever @workingdaughterday event. Why? Because 44 million women provide $470 billion in unpaid care - often while working full time and raising kids. @WDtweeting

23 million women, known as #workingdaughters, in the U.S. are balancing #eldercare, #career, and more providing more than $470 billion in unpaid care! Care advocates @mariashriver and @LeezaGibbons will you help raise awareness for #workingdaughtersday by sharing? @WDtweeting

There is a #pandemic not talked about - #aging and #familycaregiving and one, the other, or both will happen to you. It's a reality few parts of the world are addressing. Learn more about women balancing #career and #eldercare on #workingdaughtersday 11/17. @WDtweeting

I believe I'm in stage five of the ten-step election result program; obsessively cleaning baseboards. #Election2020
Interesting work coming out of @WCCMediateam on the future of telework and homeschool. Wondering if there is also research on the need for continued telework and #eldercare at.virginia.edu/3hFqpPo

How parents are managing work and virtual school are the issues family #eldercare #caregivers face all the time minus a national spotlight. @TODAYshow

Wow! @JoeBiden just included caring for parents/aging family when speaking about #caregiving. It's a step in the right direction to have a candidate acknowledge #eldercare!
