About Jonathan
Experience: 10 yrs
I offer Active Care Companionship for the Elderly & Neurodivergent. Ocean walks Museum & gallery visits Trails More Memory Care / Early-stage Alzheimer's / Dementia (10+ years experience). The experiences are based on the client's mobility & personal interest. I also have experience leading art activities with the elderly & neurodivergent adults. I am an empathetic artist. I lead a conscious lifestyle including a daily meditation practice. I would be honored to share these gifts with your loved ones if this is something that you would find helpful. On a personal note, my brother was diagnosed with Asperger's & Schizoid Disorder in late childhood. We have been working closely together for 14 years on emotional regulation, guidance & life coaching.. Our constant loving communication has taught & inspired me to continue working with individuals challenged by memory loss & the many other challenges that come with aging.

Most recent review
Jonathan has been a caregiver for my husband who has Alzheimer's and he is a really wonderful person! He's a gentle soul, has immense patience and ability to stay present with his clients more than anyone I've ever met. He is caring and committed, very reliable, trustworthy, kind and flexible. It wasn't easy in the beginning as my husband had some paranoia and I have to say that the way Jonathan handled those difficulties was impressive. Now they are buddies. Jonathan's duties mainly consist of making healthy lunches, occasionally running errands, taking my husband out to hike and be in nature, and go to museums, as that is what he loves the most. I have grown to really trust Jonathan and he has become like a member of the family in the 6 months he's worked for us. Anyone who is lucky enough to employ Jonathan will be a grateful person indeed and I'm happy to share him with others as he normally works for us 3 days per week and my husband will be away visiting family until 11-7-23. I'm available to speak to you should you have any questions
