Rob has worn many hats in his life before starting his journey with Home Instead® in August of 2019. His passion for caring for the seniors in our community began when he helped take care of his own mom after a fall a few years ago. Rob saw first hand how much of a positive impact having a caregiver in the home can have on the recovery of our aging loved ones, and decided that he wanted to be a part of that.

Alec comes from a variety of jobs spanning from a professional nanny, a cook, and even logistics. All of these felt empty and unrewarding, so he kept looking for something that felt more like a home to him. After his grandmother took a fall and landed in the hospital for quite a while, he and his dad came to the rescue. Al quickly saw just how much of a difference in-home caregivers can make on the quality of life and independence for seniors. He took the next step in 2020 to get his CNA here in Illinois to make sure he was well equipped for what this industry could throw at him.

Al has worked a few different roles here at Home Instead® in DeKalb, from Office Coordinator to Recruitment & Retention Coordinator, and now Home Care Consultant. Learning the business of home care inside and out to be the most effective and trusted source for those aging in our community.
