JR earned a degree in Organizational Communication and has extensive experience in customer relations. He is passionate about having meaningful conversations with clients and finding ways to offer them the best options available.  He first experienced the joy of helping others when he took care of his grandmother with her activities of daily living. This satisfaction drove him to search for a career in senior care and is now able to help seniors as a member of the client care team. 

Brittany joined the Home Instead team in February 2019 as a Caregiver. She became the on-call supervisor shortly after.
