About Jonathan
Experience: 10 yrs
Spiritual Caregiver & Active Companion (Elder & Memory Care) Relocating to West Marin. I offer active, presence-centered care, threshold support, and memory care for elders and neurodivergent adults. My focus is preserving dignity, emotional ease, and honoring each unique journey. Core Services: • Active Outings: Tailored walks, nature trails, museum/gallery visits, and community access based on personal mobility. • Integrative & Threshold Support: Bedside presence, sitting vigil, somatic breathwork, and gentle medicine drumming to soothe restlessness and ease transitions. • Memory Care & Neurodiversity: 10+ years supporting early-stage Alzheimer's, dementia, and cognitive shifts. • Creative Engagement: Gentle, low-pressure art activities for connection. As an empathetic artist and daily meditator, my work is deeply personal-inspired by 14+ years supporting my brother with neurodiversity. References available upon request.
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
