I was given a job offer as caregiver . But ask to get my certificate

Find Care & Housing
In my State its called a CNA (Certified Nurses Aid) and HHA (Home Health Aid). A CNA does more hands on care the HHA more of the household duties. Both bathe, dress, ect. Our techical school gives the course. Check with your local Community College. My State Nursing Board certifies after a test is given. If this is true in your state, call the Nursing board to see where classes are given. Nursing homes in my area give the classes but then hire the CNA. Maybe one near you would allow you to train if ur willing to pay.

Go for it! Getting the tickets is always a good idea, and lasts for ever. Don't think it's a waste of time and find a way around it.

You can take the Savvy caregiver course through the Alzheimers association - it is a 6 week course and they issue a certificate .

I just googled how to obtain caregiver certification. I found a website that explained the process.

24hrcares.com Take a look at it. There is a link where you can key in your state and find out what is required to become a caregiver in your area.

Best of luck to you! Good caregivers are needed more than ever today.
