Anita, search on this site for late stage Alzheimer's behavior to get an idea of the challenges you would have to face. Dozens of others have shared their frustration of trying to do what you plan to do.
If you mean a full time paycheck, no, there is not a way to be paid. If mom is on Medicaid, they might provide an aide a few hours a week, and sometimes the agency will hire a relative to be the aide. Do not, please, do not give up a full time job and sacrifice your future to care for anyone. If mom needs 24/7 care, her safest choice is a nursing home. That way you can spend quality time with her and not be exhausted from caring for her.
