Home Health Aide

Home Health Aide

Duties and responsibilities: Home health aides usually work for companies that provide in-home assistance to ill, injured, elderly, or disabled customers.  Their duties include taking the blood pressure, temperature, and pulse of patients.  They help patients get in and out of bed, take baths, and dress.

Salary: $8,000-$18,000

Education: Most employers prefer that nursing assistants and aides have a high school diploma or GED certificate.  Some vocational schools and community colleges offer training programs. 



Reflection:  I think I wouldn’t like to be a home health aide because it's something that doesn't catch my attention because i wouldn't want to be spending all day at a house taking care of sick patients, i wouldn't want someone else's life to depend on me, because what if i can't do nothing 
about their disease and then after wards im going to feel guilty.
