I have been a PCA since I was 16 when my grandmother first got sick, I am now 33, I continued with this type of work because I absolutely genuinely enjoy taking care of people and helping them in their time of need. I have done in home care also worked in group homes and nursing homes. I have worked with elderly men and women as well as mentally challenged men and women, helping them with personal care, cooking and cleaning for them, administering their medications, transporting them to and from doctor appointments, as well as just going out to dinner or shopping or to have fun
