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
