There are many personal hygiene tasks that Personal Care Aides will be required to do. Working in this field, these tasks should not bother you. However, there may be something that you do not feel comfortable with that is out of your scope of practice. If there is a task you feel uncomfortable with, describe that to the interviewer. But, if it is a task that will commonly be required, it may not look favorable for you as a candidate. If there is nothing that you would feel uncomfortable with, explain that to the interviewer.
