*Time Off Due to Covid and Inheritance
In March of 2020 I contracted Covid. BY the time I was ready to return to work, my employer had made a decision to shut down the office where I was working. Unfortunately, my father succumbed to the virus. With my inheritance, I was able to take some time off during the pandemic.
**In-Home Health Care Provider: Explanation of Duties In August of 2008, our daughter was born with T5-level Spina Bifida, which is the most common permanently-disabling birth defect in the United States. Along with Spina Bifida, she was born with hydrocephalus, Arnold Chiari II, a spinal kyphosis, paralysis from the rib cage down and two clubbed feet. Because of her condition, she was not suited for typical childcare as an infant so either my wife or I had stay home with her. As the Real Estate industry continued to contract through 2010, it made more financial sense for me to stay home with our daughter as her primary caregiver. My daughter now lives in Pennsylvania with her mother.
