About Jonathan

Experience: 10 yrs

My passion for nurturing children's development and my success as a babysitter inspired me to become a devoted childcare provider with a decade of experience. Families benefit from my calm and creative approach, and I prioritize open communication with parents. While I happily follow their lead on household rules, my enthusiasm for games like puzzles and educational activities makes learning fun! With a graduate degree and training in First Aid, CPR, and early childhood development, I'm equipped to care for up to three children of various ages. With me as their caregiver, your children will be in safe, caring hands. I was a stay at home dad and took care of three boys and one girl. All of my children are successful adults. One of my children has special needs and I pride myself on preparing him for life . I have three grandchildren now . Taking care of children for me is a labor of love

Having Jonathan work for us, was like having a male Mary Poppins, a butler, chauffeur and a chef all rolled up into one person. He would sing to our children, take care of their grandparents when they visited or were in the hospital, He is an emergency medical technician. He would drive us to the airport and pick us up and we knew that the children would be well taken care of. We trusted him with any of our family cars and he is a super cautious driver. We would hire him back in a minute and when he is available, we still take him on family vacations. Unfortunately, we now live in an area that is too hot for him so I only get to see our trusted family member a few times a year.
