Re: [QUAD-L] What is a reasonable hourly pay for PCA

[B. Kimberlin]

Greetings David. I hope to hear more interrogatives from you in the future.

I agree with Lori that what is fair is relative to where you are located. I, however, a pretty large fee for my PCAs and this is because they are on-call 24/7. Additionally, they are family and I am the sole benefactor for the family. When I first started looking for PCAs here in Tampa, I began by asking how much they were willing to work for. I found some that would work for around $10 an hour and others that wanted to work for a set amount per day. From my personal experience, it is imperative that you do a background check.

Welcome David!    What is reasonable and what they want are 2 different avenues too.  Also depends where you live (rural vs urban) and if they are just an aide or have some training (like CNAs).   It seems $7/hour is appropriate.  But here in Tucson ... NO ONE will work for less than $10 even under the table!   I lived in the D.,C. Metro area briefly (never will again).   NO ONE there would work under $25!  It is insanity!   But from the small town I lived in for 35 (of my 40) years... $7 was about right.   Alot of aides have delusions of grandeur!  And do every background check on them imaginable!   Lori www.michaelsons.org   -------Original Message-------   From: David Clark Date: 01/19/05 16:11:42 To: quad-list@eskimo.com Subject: [QUAD-L] What is a reasonable hourly pay for PCA   Hi I am a new member to Ouad List been reading the e_mails for about a week.I  Feel like I almost Know some of you Thanks for sharing.
