        • Funny you ask because other caregivers will do this for you as well, you’ll need to fill in for a regular caregiver whenever they are sick or on vacation or something. About your question: how to become a caregiver, sometimes you just need to be passionate about it because you’ll receive training opportunities during your employment. A dregree isn0t always a requeriment to becaome a caregiver so don’t worry about it , but if you want to step up the game you can take a quick home health aide course (CHHA) or any nurse assistant aide training.

    • From what I know there’s nothing specific for that but some of the caregivers I know are licensed in practical nursing (LPN) o certifies nursing asssitants (CNA)
