The 3 Step Process to Hiring a PCA

Hiring the perfect Personal Care Assistant (PCA) takes three things, time, commitment and flexibility.  First, one needs to make enough time to insure that the interviewing period (“getting to know you”) stage is not rushed.  Second, one must commit to the hiring process by researching exactly what one wants in a PCA.  Third, flexibility throughout the hiring process and after is key to success.  However, this flexibility must be mutual from both parties.
