Yvonne joined the Home Instead team in 2019. Yvonne started with healthcare as a private aide when she was only 15. She worked with an elderly couple until she had her children. After the birth of her children - classes became available to become a nurse’s aide and she immediately jumped at the opportunity. She continued working as a nurse’s aide and then began to work in EMS. Later on, she transitioned to home care to go back to a calmer environment and be able to grow close knit relationships with her clients. Home Instead allowed Yvonne to see how versatile healthcare truly is. “It was simply different from the structured system of a nursing home”, says Wirthwein. “Being with Home Instead allowed a more involved family dynamic to be developed. Not only did Home Instead allow one on one time, but visits turned out to be more than just a job to be done. The clients became like family..." Today, Yvonne is our Recruitment & Engagement Coordinator. She recruits talented Care Pros and provides training and support throughout their journey with Home Instead. Her duties are hiring, coaching and developing Care Pros to their best abilities. With her background, she is confident to provide adequate support for the Home Instead family.
