“I’ve always had this interest in helping people, and growing up, I’ve always volunteered. I like making that connectionwith people and helping them..”

"Twice I've had a client pass and the family put my name in the obituary. I was like ‘Wow, we really had a special connection’."

“Being a PSW is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Every day I help someone who really needs me.”

“To be able to slow down and be there for someone and just to do the basic everyday things, and to essentially help bring the best out of them is one of the pieces that appeals to me.”

If Caring is Your Calling, Personal Support Work is the Career for You

The best part about being a Personal Support Worker (PSW) is the pride and satisfaction that comes from helping others. Unlike other health care professionals, PSWs have an opportunity to really get to know their patients and build strong connections. A PSW is a caring, compassionate person who understands what their clients are experiencing and wants to help.
