I want to work as a travel companion/helper for disabled people who
want to travel or go on a cruise but need someone to go with them?

That sounds like a rewarding thing to do. Are you wishing to do this
full-time as an employee, or are you wishing to volunteer your time? 
If you wish to be paid, in which countries can you legally work? 
Thanks!

Do you have any kind of medical background (nurse's assistant, home
health aide, etc?) Some disabled persons need assistance with simple
medical procedures, so it is very useful if you are able to give
shots, take blood pressure measurements, and such.

I am thinking of offering my services as companion/helper for seniors
and/or handicapped persons (example the visually impaired), people who
would need modest assistance, not medical help and who have the desire
to travel but either cannot or do not wish to travel alone.   I would
require some remuneration for this service.  What I am trying to find
out is if there are organizations that match people like myself with
seniors and/or disabled that require some assistance in order to
travel.

I suggest you definitley sign up for the Yahoo! Group "The Disabled
Traveler" located at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/thedisabledtraveler/messages/194

You may find resources from the members and a way to successfully
network your proposed services.  Good luck.
