Based on open-ended responses, time burden was the most commonly difficult aspect of balancing. Caregivers who had difficulty managing caregiving and work were twice as likely to have made employment changes, including hybrid\/remote work or reducing hours. Caregivers said flexibility in work schedule and help with caregiving from family and friends were important to helping them achieving balance.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Difficulties balancing caregiving with paid employment are common and span health, financial, and time challenges.
