I read the question... you are looking for training?

The local hospital or clinic has a program for patients who are new to insulin use. Open to the public. Go. Learn everything you can about gluclose levels, carb intake insulin calculations. Types and different reasons for different uses of insulin.

There isn't really any certification as such. But, there is a leaning curve involved.

The "paid" part of that is more difficult. Some states have a means for someone to get a small amount of pay for in-home care. This would be only a couple hours a week. But..again...only some states. Nearly everyone who is a caregiver for their family get paid nothing.
