Our Team

​

​Julie Pavkov's corporate Human Resource experience extends from small family owned software companies to government contracting. She is excited about a new adventure serving in the healthcare industry where she is eager to support the organization of Home Instead Senior Care and make a positive impact in the lives of Clients and CAREGivers alike. Julie graduated from James Madison University where she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Sociology. She is originally from Manassas, VA and lives with her husband of 12 years and two children. She enjoys serving at her church, running and keeping up with her busy family life. 

Kathleen Narron has been a registered nurse for over twenty years.  She originally started out in Washington D.C. in the Surgical ICU.  She quickly found a passion for emergency room nursing.  She worked as a charge nurse for most of her career in an emergency room in Manassas, where she raised four beautiful sons.  She currently lives in Warrenton where she is raising her amazing 13 year old son.  She has an adorable young granddaughter, who she can’t spoil enough, after raising five boys. 

As a young teenager, Kathleen’s first job was a volunteer at the Red Cross.  One of her jobs there was to visit senior citizens weekly at Leesburg Nursing Home in Annandale every week.  She has come full circle and is back serving seniors again.    She is excited to start this new chapter in her career, bringing quality care to our community’s senior population and providing a positive work environment for Home Instead’s compassionate and amazing CAREGivers. 

I bring an entrepreneurial background to the position of Director of Business Development. Whether it be a non-profit or business venture, I enjoy building and growing organizations. I specifically get excited about growing the reach of Home Instead Senior Care, because as a former Nursing Assistant and EMT, I understand the difference our CAREGivers are making. My family has experienced first-hand how valuable in-home care is for our 101-year-old grandmother in preventing falls and socializing with her during her long days.

I have previously worked in grassroots organizing, publishing sales and have been involved in several tech start-ups as founder and co-founder. I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University with a degree in Religion and later earned a law degree from Regent University. I essentially grew up in a cornfield in NW Indiana and I now live in Warrenton with my wife of 15 years and our 3 children. I like IU Basketball, fishing, camping and watching our kids play their sports. And, I promise, I'm not that crazy-sports dad.

Prior to joining Home Instead Senior Care, Gail cared for her father for six years. During this time she realized how much she loved caring for him and knew she should continue caring for seniors.

Soon afterwards, Gail moved into the position of Quality Assurance Coordinator, ensuring our clients receive the best of care. 

Gail is married and has three children. She enjoys reading, watching movies and playing games. But mostly she loves working at Home Instead Senior Care and strives to ensure our clients are receiving the best care!

​Prior to joining Home Instead Senior Care as a caregiver in July 2019, Susan was a litigation paralegal for thirty years in several highly rated law firms in the DMV. Having been the sole caregiver/point of contact for her mother, age 94, for ten years, Susan experienced how important it is to genuinely understand our seniors and their many needs; especially companionship. Originally from upstate New York, Susan received her bachelor's degree from the State University of New York at Utica/Rome. She subsequently obtained a Certificate in Paralegal Studies from McIntosh College in Dover, New Hampshire. Susan is excited to be a member of the human resources department and looks forward to recruiting and hiring outstanding caregivers for our seniors.  

Anne started her life journey in caregiving at a very young age. Her mother was a geriatric nurse in a nursing home and released her children onto the floor at the tender age of 4 with instructions to "make someone's life better today." Taking that to heart, all her life Anne has lived in the service of others. In the beginning this meant Anne pursued a career in Special Education and was a teacher for 3 years before moving to Hawaii where her teaching license did not transfer. Knowing that Autism and Alzheimer's were similar she took a job in an Alzheimer's ward, and caring for the elderly accidentally became her passion. After she became a CNA, Anne became a Patient Care Technician and passed the National Board for Phlebotomy.

Having trained and worked with CNA's throughout her career in a variety of medical facilities and home care agencies, Anne brings a unique perspective to the hiring team. She describes herself as having an "awkward and friendly energy". She is full of life!

Anne also works on an On-Call basis with the Client Care Team; filling in on weekend shifts for other Caregivers who called out for emergency reasons. It blesses her greatly to still provide personal care to those who need it the most. 

Deedi joined Home Instead Senior Care in 2019 as a caregiver. Through the clients she met and the people she worked with, she found her passion for serving others. 

Previously, Dedi has worked with the Little Sisters of the Poor in Catonsville MD. Deedi is pursuing a nursing degree and is working to obtain her paramedic certification. Deedi finds her current role as Client Care Coordinator a great fit for her, as it helps her to continue serving others through compassion, kindness and morality.

“True happiness does not come from worldly pursuits but from a life of unselfish service to others.”

​Sharon came to Home Instead in 2019 as a CAREGiver and discovered that she loved working with Seniors. She recently started as the CAREGiver Engagement Coordinator in January of 2020.

After graduating, she relocated to the NOVA area to pursue a career working with troubled youth in the outdoors and took a position with a recreation facility in McLean, VA.

After becoming a mom in 1994, Sharon decided to stay home to run an in-home child care business for 9 years. Eventually, she returned to the regular work force where she worked for Loudoun County in various roles for nearly 10 years. 

While still a young mother, Sharon also took on the care for her mother-in-law who fought breast cancer until her death in 2002. Recently, Sharon has been assisting her mother and father-in-law as they age and has come to understand, first hand, the difference Home Instead CAREGivers are making for their clients. 

Sharon is a people person and a team player and hopes to serve as a bridge between Clients and the CAREGivers. Her door is always open and CAREGivers can count on her to assist and support them in their caregiving journey.
