Exhilarating on site work often doesn't line up with needing to be a full time caretaker for family, unfortunately.
Employment, in general, doesn't line up with needing to be a full time caretaker for whoever. SWE is a curious exception, sometimes, in some companies, but the vast, vast majority of the workforce goes to a place to work, then hires a nurse/nanny/caretaker to fit their other obligations.
