Kristin comes to Home Instead with over a decade of sales experience and is tasked not only with building a network of community partners in Chapel Hill but with providing direction to our sales teams at each of our four locations. Our holistic approach to serving the needs of seniors and their families requires the seamless integration of local doctors, nurses, communities, and services. We are blessed to having Kristin leading the charge towards better outcomes for the seniors we are privileged to serve.

Originally from the Netherlands, Helena brings a compassion for seniors that is very natural to those from Dutch heritage. With a career ranging from electrician to surgical technologist, she has found a home in senior care. As a family caregiver for her late father, Helena has seen first-hand the importance of what Home Instead provides and brings that passion to every family she meets. Additionally, she is proud to have raised four beautiful children and now calls Carrboro home along with her dog, Bocelli.

​As a native to North Carolina, serving Tarheel seniors is in Jackie's DNA. She has worked in a variety of capacities within the Home Instead family and is now tasked to provide a critical level of support for our clients, their families, and our fantastic care professionals.

Savanah is one of the prime points of contact for clients and their families. She directs a team of individuals who are dedicated to Exceeding the Expectations of Everyone We Encounter. We call it simply- Our 4E's. "I love working in home care because it allows me the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of senior and their families."

Christy oversees an entire team of individuals who work largely behind the scenes to make the care we provide look effortless. It has been said that it takes a village. Christy is the mayor of that village. "I love being part of an organization that is able to focus on both maintaining the independence of seniors and building a great place for care professionals to work. Both of those missions are so important to me."

Better care for the care pros has always been one of the driving forces behind our success at Home Instead. Amanda is the relational hub for that part of our process. "Our elders deserve for this to be a stage in their lives that is as relaxing and comfortable as we can make it, and I am glad to be a prt of that process."
