Hello my name is Tranicia I've been a personal care assistant for about 10+ years (I love it) I actually knew I wanted to become a PCA after my grandfather got sick I was 17 when he passed ( he passed on my birthday) so I was still to young to become one. After high school I enrolled in college for child development I graduate and starting working at a fast food restaurant. About 3 years later I met my first client and that's when I applied for IHSS and I've been there ever since. Taking care of the elderly is actually pretty cool you learn so much especially about their past just to sit there and listen is what I like. My personal achievement are my kids.
