Good luck with your endeavour.

As someone who has been looking after the parents for the last 3 years, learn how to take time off. Like they say in the airplane "Put your own mask on first before trying to help others" It is probably the most difficult part of the job, taking care of your self so you can be strong enough to take care of the others.
