About Fitz

I've come to find that I am best suited for this work. I have the personality, compassion, and patience for this career. In my most recent position, I have found it to be a spiritual journey and a sacred labor. Caregiving gives my job meaning. Besides being a trained professional actor, I have found that caregiving gives my life real purpose. I am proud of my last position. My client, who became my friend - and his wife, became like my second family. I was able to build a strong relationship with them, and I was told that my work was of great comfort and help to them toward the end of my client/friend's life. Furthermore, I was pleased to become employee of the month for the agency I was with at the time, and am still being considered for employee of the year. I used to be a theatre actor and I like to entertain people and make them laugh. If I can bring joy to someone's life it always makes me happy.

Caregiver,

Oct 2013 - Jul 2014
client and friend
I assisted my client with most of his daily activities. Dressing, grooming, bathing, shaving. Prepared his meals, medication reminders, walking and walker/wheelchair assistance. We would excersize and work on his range of motion. Mostly I was a companion. We got along famously and had many conversations, sang songs, told jokes and enjoyed each other's company. My client and friend was an amazing man even though he was famous in his field and well respected he was down to earth and very warm and gracious, I was very lucky to know him.

I became a caregiver after my mother became ill, I was the one that cared for her until she took her last breath. I like the tenderness, and loving smiles I get from the people I care for. Making the people happy and comfortable, is a very personal achievement for me. I'm a very caring, loving, responsible, punctual lady, and I love what I do. Also I'm very friendly and easy to get along with, I'm respectful with my employers, and very trustworthy. . If you like to know anything else about me, don't hesitate to call me.....
