Our Team

Your Home Instead Senior Care franchise owners possess a heartfelt desire to work with seniors in their community. It's the reason why they were chosen to serve seniors and their families.

When you're ready for help, our caring staff is on call to quickly answer your questions and accommodate your senior services needs. 

BRYN PAVEK - FRANCHISE OWNER
Bryn is a longtime community leader in Northern Virginia. For many years she was the Director of Adult and Community Education for Fairfax County Public Schools. She also worked as the Executive Director of the Reston Community Center for over a decade and was the Director of the YMCA in Washington D.C.. Her concern for seniors has grown over the years both through her work and personal experiences caring for members of her own family. Bryn and her husband (and co-owner) Chris bring experience, compassion and empathy to their work.

KIM EDGECOMB - OFFICE MANAGER
Kim brings personal experience to the office team, having been a caregiver for her grandmother, who had Alzheimer's disease. She says she knows first-hand the impact the disease can have on families, and she appreciates working at a place where she can support others going through this journey. Kim's background includes being a preschool and kindergarten teacher, cheerleading coach, and dancer. Her major at Austin Peay State University was education, and she's glad to be back in her native Northern Virginia with her dogs, Lizzy and Oreo.

LINDA PERRY, REGISTERED NURSE
Linda hails from New York and has over 20 years RN experience.  She has served patients and clients in public health services, hospital settings, home health care, and as a case manager.  Her background includes med-surgical, orthopedics, IV therapy, pain management, geriatrics, and patient education.   She rounds out her hands on experience with administrative skills in quality assurance, chart review, code compliance, joint commission audit, and employee education.  Linda is an active parent of "sports" girls and lives out in the country with her husband, who shares her interest in fitness and the outdoors. 

JIM HUNTER - COMMUNITY SERVICES REPRESENTATIVE
Jim enjoyed an executive consulting career in the private sector before retiring and becoming a Home Instead Senior Care CAREgiver.  His second career became his passion, and after two years of outstanding care out "in the field" he decided to join the staff team to help extend our services further into the community.  Jim's extensive experience in negotiating, networking and customer service provide our office with the sensitivity and savvy to serve the widest variety of needs.

STEFFANIE MCKAY - STAFFING COORDINATOR
Steffanie is a graduate of Ithaca College, NY with a BS in Health Sciences, with an emphasis on Public Health and Nutrition.  Steffanie grew up in the Reston, VA area and plans to continue her studies for a Masters Degree at George Washington University.  In addition to working in wellness and nutrition, she volunteered with music and health fairs in senior citizens homes, and delivering meals on wheels to disadvantaged seniors. A self proclaimed "sports nut" she remains a member of the Capital Rowing Club.  Stephanie also shares her home with a dog, a cat, a guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, and a tankful of tropical fish. 

KATHRYN SCHAFFER - BUSINESS MANAGER
Kathryn brings a wealth of experience as a former stay at home mom for two "now grown" sons, as a business partner with her husband, and in a variety of community based service jobs---from driving kids to before and after school activities to managing start up entrepreneurs offices and finances. Her favorite and most compelling work, however, was as the trust officer for her frail, elderly parents. Kathryn gained an insider's view of the complexities of elder care management and an appreciation for the energy and compassion needed to provide high quality care.

TRACY KRUG, RECRUITMENT & RETENTION COORDINATOR
Tracy is a "soup to nuts" Human Resources professional with experience in full life-cycle recruitment services for banking, temporary staffing, and technology businesses.  She has also worked in commercial real estate as a procurement and property manager.  Tracy owned and operated her own child care business, while raising her twins!  Her knowledge of website, advertising, networking, special event recruitment and labor law combined with extensive customer service, interviewing, orientation, assessment and project management abilities are an excellent fit for our people oriented workforce.
