​Amy began her career with Home Instead in 2010 working with us for five years before leaving to pursue an opportunity in Sales. Every day she has the opportunity to work with CAREGivers helping them through the hiring process and fulfill their dream of making a difference in the life of a senior. Amy is an enthusiastic, caring, and resourceful advocate for older adults and their caregivers. Amy has been in the senior industry for over 10 years and today is back in her original role at Home Instead in Annandale as our Recruitment and Retention Coordinator.

The first person clients speak with is Erin. Erin's role is to make sure every Home Instead client has an exceptional experience. Erin does this by conducting monthly quality assurance visits at our client's homes. She is responsible for building relationships between the CAREGivers and clients. Our clients love their monthly visit with Erin. These visits present a great opportunity to let her know how things are going.​

​Joining the Home Instead family in August of 2018, Earline bridged the calling from childhood to meet her desire to serve the elderly. Hearing her father's wisdom, she lives out his advice to "never look down upon a man except to give him a hand to lift them up", a statement she believes Home Instead applies making this job satisfying and rewarding. Originally from South Carolina, Earline moved to the D.C. Metro area 38 years ago to work with the Social Security Administration from which she recently retired. Away from the office she enjoys spending her time with her 7 grandchildren, creating memories for a lifetime.

Starting as a CAREGiver, Trupti knows what it takes to provide excellent care. As our Director of Finance, Trupti fills many office functions, including monitoring CAREGiver's clock ins and outs (so we are always on-time!) and client billing. Accurate billing and CAREGivers being on time are two fundamentals which allow us have a successful client relationship.​​

We answer our phones 24 hours a day 7 days a week (even on holidays!). To accomplish this daunting task we knew we needed someone special, and that is why we have Shelbee. It is her honor and duty to support our clients and CAREGiver's in the event of an after-hours emergency or question. Shelbee is also extremely knowledgeable and informed as to all of the services we offer.

Anabelle Ong-Hay joined the Home Instead Family in 2019.  She has been a nurse for over seven years, and supports our clients with routine visits, care plans and initial assessments.  Anabelle loves to foster dogs and decorate cakes in her spare time.

Angela has been with Home Instead since 2010.  Angela wears many hats, including CAREGiver, courier and office support to name a few.  She is very near and dear to our clients, caregivers and office staff.  In her spare time Angela enjoys spending time with her family and outdoor activities.

Deena has been a Community Liaison with our Home Instead team for seven years. Much of her hands-on healthcare training came from years of providing care in her home to her own mother. As the primary caregiver, this gave Deena an innate blend of knowledge, experience and empathy in the industry. With great pride, she feels gratified to be able to inform and connect many in the healthcare industry to Home Instead as a solution to the needs of community senior members. Previously, she has been in the marketing field for other types of services, as well as having been a school teacher for several years, an entertainer, and a ski instructor in the beautiful Colorado mountains.
