Get Paid to Be Your Child's Caregiver

You are your child’s best advocate and most dedicated caregiver. The Georgia Pediatric Program (GAPP) recognizes this and allows parents, grandparents, and legal guardians to be paid for providing non-skilled care to their medically fragile children. At Care Within Reach, we specialize in helping families access this life-changing benefit.

How the Parent Caregiver Program Works

Under the Parent Caregiver Program, you become an employee of Care Within Reach. We bill Medicaid for the approved hours of care you provide to your child, and we pay you a competitive hourly wage. It’s that simple.

Step 1

We help you determine if your child is eligible for GAPP and the Parent Caregiver Program.

Step 2

We guide you through the application and approval process.

Step 3

Once approved, you are onboarded as a Care Within Reach employee and can start receiving pay for the care you provide.

Care Within Reach has been a blessing for our family. Being able to get paid for the care I was already giving my son has taken so much financial pressure off of us. The team is incredibly supportive and always available when I have questions. I can't thank them enough.

The nurses at Care Within Reach are incredible. They are so skilled and compassionate with my daughter. For the first time in years, I feel like I have a true partner in her care. I finally get to be her mom again, not just her nurse.
