Hello! My name is Ann Elizabeth Fitzgerald and you may call me Beth. I come from a long line of nurses but was never interested in becoming a caretaker of any kind myself. When my mother, a nurse loved by so many of her patients for her excellent nursing skills and incredibly caring bedside manner, became ill herself I lovingly became her caretaker. As I shifted into that role, I began to learn the importance of a loving caring bedside manner as part of the caretaker skill set. My mother has since passed but those pieces of her have become such an important part of who I am today in my own life and how I treat and work with others. She instilled in me things I never would have imagined for myself. Although my background is in information technology, in fact I am an expert in the field, I no longer enjoy that kind of work in the way I did years ago. Today I long to work with people. Not just to providing excellent care but also enjoying the love and friendship that inevitably arises as those relationships develop. I now provide care for my father who is 90 years old and needs some help. I come from a loving family takes care of family home and would not have anyone but myself care for my father. The bond and the love we have for each other is unbreakable. This bond and love are what I look forward to building with you and your family as I take care of your loved one. I would not have it any other way.
