For Consumers
How to Be an Employer
Liz Casey, who has employed PCA's for many years, (See Videos page) has written a thoughtful piece titled "Making It Work -- Once You Have Hired a PCA".
"Many things go into a good working relationship between the PCA and the consumer. A sense of respect for one another seems to be at the top of everybody's list. That can come through in many ways. But as the boss, consumers are the ones who really set the tone in the workplace." She follows up with topics: Expectations, Adaptations, Consistency, Honesty, Provide Resources, and Be Nice!. Liz's advice is valuable to any relationship, and is particularly useful because of the closeness of the relationships between Employers and PCAs.
