I became a PCA because I am very much a people person and like helping others. What I like about it is the internal rewards you get when your client makes great strides. What I am proud of is when I was taking care of 2 autistic teens and the mother said one day to one of them "so what do you think of Jeff"? And his reply was that I fit in and that he feels more motivated just having me around. As far as myself, I am very much motivated to see progress in my clients, I am very patient and empathetic, and I just flat out like helping people.
