Meet Our Team

Stephen and his wife Robyn started Home Helpers in the River Region in 2010. Robyn was raised in Montgomery and the two returned to the area after living in five states over 17 years of Air Force life. Robyn quickly became a part-time caregiver to her father who was a stroke victim. Stephen, who is now retired from active duty, had also witnessed his grandparents struggle through failing health and Alzheimer’s before they passed. These experiences made the two realize the great need for assistance that allows individuals to remain in their own homes as long as safely possible while minimizing the strain on their family members. And Stephen loves helping other veterans get the care benefits their service to our country earned.

Robyn resumed teaching preschool several years ago which gives her a little more time to keep up with the couples’ three grown children and one grandchild. They enjoy spending time with family and traveling anywhere, near or far.

Shelly was born in Baltimore, MD and grew up in Southwestern PA. After moving to Alabama in 2016, she first worked in a senior living facility. She has since been a manager in home care for several years. Before that, Shelly earned a degree in Business Management which has given her a better understanding of effective operations and business strategies.

Shelly’s passion for the elderly, and the joy she gets from seeing them remain happy and independent in their own home, began when she provided in-home care for several family members. She and her husband, Larry, have 5 daughters and 4 grandchildren.
