kassandra, I just noticed in your profile that you live in Canada, thus what programs your area has is probably different than what we have here in the States.
There are a few people on the forum who live in Canada, so hopefully they will be able to give you information.
Your profile info has more helpful info in it: "I�have been talking care of my friend jeff clean his house and cook for him and I help him keep his Dr. appointments and more he has been paying me what little he could to help me out for helping him out and then I went down with him to life scan to get finger printed and pay 50$ fee so I can be his caretaker and get paid for it I was wondering what else I would have to do?" - have a written employment contract with him specifying your hourly rate (no less than the minimum wage), your hours, your days off, etc. - consider getting liability insurance to protect yourself - check your state laws about caregivers as employees. Jeff will need to pay you by check, withhold taxes, report quarterly and provide you a W2 at the end of each year IF your state automatically considers you an employee (like in my state).
