Answers:
I don't know if you need to become a CNA to qualify for payment to take care of your mother. That said, you can go to a community college to take classes, or check with your local red cross to see if they will train you. You can train at a nursing home (depending on their policies), but you'll have to agree to work for them for a period of time, which doesn't seem to work into your schedule. Good luck taking care of your mother, Check here for California's nursing boards - usually they control CNAs as well.. https://www.ncsbn.org/515.htm#California... Health Question & Answer
