In some cases, if your mother is on Medicaid, she can designate you as her personal home care aide and you can get paid a small amount through Medicaid.

My wife and I are expecting our first child, which means we have a thousand and one things to do before our little one arrives. One of the things we can check off the list is deciding whether or not my wife would continue working after we have our child or if she would be a stay at home mom.orking-for-pay or working-at-home caring for children is a decision made based upon a womanâs personality, values, family dynamics, etc. Itâs not my place to protest what another woman/family should or shouldnât do. Of course, there are positives and negatives to any decision.
