About Benjamin

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

As a father of four I know how hard it is navigating the challenges of parenting, and the value of a solid circle of support. I've been at home with my kids through every season of their childhood, sharing daily responsibility for their care whilst my wife and I both work part-time. As an educator and Montessori parent I believe kids thrive with a little structure, space for creativity and a healthy dose of outdoors. I have extensive experience with all ages but energetic 6 - 12 yr old's are where my fort building, tree climbing, Lego modeling skills shine.

Ben has shown great initiative, adaptability, and dependability caring and finding productive activities for my young adult IDD son. They spend several hours a day together a few days a week.
