About Bethany

I have a background in caregiving of all types : newborns, toddlers, teens , special needs, all the way up to the elderly . I prefer to care for the elderly because I've always had a special bond with them. It warms my heart to care for them and listen to their stories. I think all older people deserve so much respect as they've been through much more than you or I. They certainly deserve to go through their final years on this earth with the utmost dignity , which is oftentimes, hard to find amongst many caregivers in a public sector. This is very important, and I think it matters just as much as the healthcare, in itself. As long as you have all of those elements in place, as well as someone whose heart is in the right place , you are on the right track . I hope to meet your loved one and care for them. If not myself , then someone else who also has their best needs at heart. Thanks, Bethany Fleischer

Cared for a friends grandmother in her mid 80s with advanced Alzheimer's. She only trusted the family and myself. I was around the family often so she warmed up to me fast. I bathed her and helped her get changed and helped her with toileting. I made her meals and tried to get her to eat but she wouldn't eat very much. I helped with her meds. She went to bed very early when it was still light out. She was a very sweet lady. I tried to show her lots of pictures of her family and friends and play music to help her. Her husband was still alive and very active.

What makes me a great caregiver is my heart. I have always cared about the well being of others, it makes me happy knowing that I am able to help people. What I like about caregiving is meeting new people, and being able to do all I can to comfort and help. A personal achievement I am really proud of is working with someone with CP. This person was in a wheel chair for a long number of years, this person gave up long ago. I came in and got to help this person and care for them helped with motaviating this person to start exercising and then we started taking small steps, thru out my years of caregiving with this person. I was able to help get this person out of the chair and to start walking again. It made me feel so good to see smiles from my client and the family because of how I dedicated myself to her, I was able to give hope and was able to see my client do somethings on their own. It is definitely a highlight to caregiving.
