Meet Our Team

Home Instead and Andrea were a perfect match for one another! During the 6 years that she spent working towards her Master’s in Business degree from Wayne State College, Andrea worked as in-home care provider for seniors. This experience and her strong desire to help seniors and those who are disabled stay in their homes, led her to her fulfilling journey with Home Instead. After serving as the General Manager for 11 years, Andrea purchased the business in 2018. Andrea takes great pride in leading a dynamic, close-knit team that is responsible for changing the face of aging in the communities that they serve. Her husband Levi works full time with Black Hills Energy. Levi and Andrea have been blessed with 5 precious children--daughters-Graycen, Ashlyn, and Brooklyn and son Logan light up their lives and their home with love and laughter. Their beloved daughter Lauryn, who was stillborn, smiles down upon them from Heaven.

Jennifer has lengthy career experience in the service industry, working as a case manager in New York for people with developmental disabilities. This experience made her a perfect fit for her move to Nebraska and her career with Home Instead. As our Client Care Manager, she is leading the client care team and working with families to find trusted solutions to their long term care needs. Her team continuously evaluates the care they are providing to their clients through a series of ongoing communications and visits to ensure high quality care and client satisfaction. Jennifer and her husband Mike live near Carroll, NE. Jennifer enjoys spending time with friends and family, including daughter Jasmine; visiting their cabin by the river; watching the Yankees; and traveling.
