I was a caregiver for my folks with no certification. I did that till the bitter end. Dad had Parkinson's mom had Alzheimer's then I found a place online that gives certification as a caregiver. It was suposed to be a 8 week course. I already knew everything from the school of hard knocks and did the eight week tests in a single night. Having a certification in my hand before morning. I work for the minimum allowed by this site. I can only serve the iuka area. Other cities like correnth are not avalible to me because I only have a moped to get around on.
