MyMotherLove01, the vast majority of grown children who are taking care of a parent do not get paid. Unless, as mentioned earlier, your Mom can pay you from her retirement fund.
Bet your Mom loves being around the great-grand babies :)
This is the most often ask question on this forum. There is an entire article devoted to the subject. The link to it and much more helpful information are linked on the home page.
You and your mother can draw up a contract and she can pay you for your caregiving services. If she is living in your home you can also "charge" her for Food, a portion of the gas, electric, cable, phone if any, water, sewer, mortgage, insurance. For all of the household expenses add up the bills and divide by the number of people living in the house. (If there are 6 people she would pay 1/6th of all the expenses. ) All this should be documented as it is proof that her money was being used for her care. This might be important if there is ever a need to apply for Medicaid or any other services where income is taken into account. (Just as a side note you should also be getting paid to baby sit)
there may be programs that she would qualify for that would provide a caregiver so that you are not doing this alone. Check with your local Area Agency on Aging or if you have a local Senior Center they may have a Social Worker that would know of programs that you/she could qualify for.
Remember that contract makes her an employee and all deductions must be made. Mom becomes an employer. This would require qualified people to.set up all the necessary accounts, social security, taxes, workmans comp, etc.
