He can pay you. If he’s low income or a veteran he may eligible for state or VA assistance but he has to be financially and medically eligible. You won’t be paid to manage his finances though. They will only pay you to do certain things. Pay is minimum wage and you wouldn’t be compensated for all hours you work either.

Overall we see the the minimum amounts you can get paid do not make it a good choice to give up regular jobs, move in and try 24/7 care. Often people who try this end up with no place to live, no salary and no job history for job seeking for their own future. If your elder is able to pay you then any care plan should be set in stone, likely through a lawyer with agreement on payment and what is expected; salary should be reported to IRS so that the elder doesn't run into any problems with accusations of having "gifted" money should they in future face a 5 year lookback for applications for aid.
