Looking for some career change advice.

Looking for some career change advice.

Hello everyone, this is my first post here although I've been reading your posts for a couple years now. I am looking to change careers, I had a pretty successful house cleaning and pet sitting business for the last 17 years but a couple of years ago started to become allergic to all household cleaners/chemicals, even the "free and clear" ones. Due to health issues last year I lost a bunch of cleaning jobs and couldn't do any pet sitting. I am getting back into the pet sitting but it is so intermittent that it's not really reliable income. I am looking for a work at home job so I could still do the pet sitting when the jobs come up but I have no work at home experience so I've had trouble getting anything that I've applied for. Does anyone have any advice about building my remote type skills or companies that hire beginners? I do have computer skills and know my way around excel, word, power point, slack and zoom and I love learning anything new about tech. Any advice given is much appreciated.

Thank you!
