How do I become a guardian or caregiver? I am thinking of a career change.

I am 56 years old, not married, and have no children of my own. I moved recently to St George, Utah to find a job, although I have not been successful. I was a Reservation Agent for an airline for 21 years. I have love and compassion for others, I have 2 little Dachshunds I love and still care for. I live near the "A Gentle Touch" and have a friend Paige, who lives next door to me. She has advised me that your company may be willing to hire me to help care or sit with an elderly, whom I would adore and love to do. Please email me it you may show interest in me. Thank You

Many (and maybe all, I'm not sure) states regulate guardians. In my state (FL) you have to take a course, pass a test, and hold a state license and be bonded. You then have to have continuing education credits. There is a national association of guardians, as well as state organizations. That is probably the best place for you to start.
