About Pedro

Reviewed on 8/31/2023

Pedro and his wife Vanessa are the parents of a son age 11, and two daughters who are young adults. All three children are delightful. Pedro's success as a parent and his values of respect, kindness, hard work, and being appreciative of what one has are the foundation for his work as a caregiver to children. Being an adult male in mid-life, Pedro is in a strong position to be a mentor and thoughtful guide to boys in particular. My children are twins. Their father died when they were only 7 years old. I had to work full time and the children ended up fighting each other constantly due to sibling rivalry, and then fighting me in order to get resources from me and to avoid doing whatever they didn't want to do. I appreciated finding Pedro as an afterschool and weekend caregiver who could be a calm, authoritative male mentor. Pedro is able to talk to the boys, remind them of the benefits of being brothers, and compel them to follow basic rules. He plays sports with them, which I appreciate since my two sons are usually not willing to stick with any particular sport. I appreciate Pedro and hope he will stay with my family for the next several years.
