My mom just been through school to the 5th grade. Then she came to the united states and learned only english and raised us. Anyway that's her only education as years passed she just been working her *** off for us. Now I help her but its too late for her to go to school. She just has YEARS of experience as a caregiver and know english fine know by videos I don't think she even has an accent anymore. lol Is there anything she can do know. (we are low income) I feel sorry for her beacuse she is a mother a housewife and a caregiver.. and she one of those good ones that enjoy taking care of them.

If I was your mom and in the same situation. I would sign up for a correspondance school to get a high school diploma or a GED. After that, I would go to school to be a CNA. If that was enough, I'd stick to that.

You could get a highschool diploma or a GED at a vo tech or go online and find correspondance schools.

You mentioned low income, I would call around at votechs, and schools to see what financial help they offer.

My sister is a CNA and she enjoys it and makes money.

Hope this helps. Have a great day.
