Jessica Works as a scheduling manager where she helps match Care Professionals to our clients. She takes extra time to learn about each Care Pro and each client to make meaningful matches. "I love working for Home Instead, I started my journey as a Care Professional. I fell in love with being there to support seniors in all aspects of their daily lives - it's a rewarding job that I’m happy I get to be a part of. I had the support of the care team and managers along the way that helped me grow as an individual to better serve seniors in need. Being a Care Professional changed my life - being able to still work with seniors and be a Care Professional is so rewarding even now as I have recently moved into the office. Now I get to work alongside the team that has helped me grow. Having the opportunity to be the support that clients and Care Professionals need has been an amazing opportunity and I’m so proud to be part of the Home Instead team.” At any given time, you can find Jessica supporting a Care Professional on how to provide the highest level of care to our Clients and also our Care Professionals.
