Care Director

Jessica began her caregiving career in 2004, working in hospitals and care facilities where she witnessed the challenges of traditional long-term care. After starting her family, she returned home to the Methow Valley and discovered the Green House model at Jamie’s Place — a radically different approach centered on dignity, relationship, and home. She grew from Shahbaz to manager to Associate Director, while furthering her education in long-term and end-of-life care. Jessica now leads with compassion, faith, and deep commitment to elders, families, and staff alike.

House Manager, Jamie’s Place

With over 15 years of caregiving experience, I specialize in nursing, psychological, and developmental support, with an emphasis on memory care. My passion lies in providing compassionate and quality care to those in need. Having visited the Methow Valley since childhood, I have been proud to call it home for the past five years and am deeply committed to contributing to its unique and supportive community. As a mother, partner, and animal rescuer, I cherish living life to the fullest, exploring the outdoors, and connecting with animals. Helping people and giving back to the Methow Valley is at the heart of everything I do.
