Sydney was born and raised in Georgia. She loves spending time with her family, cooking, travelling, and just being active —working out or playing sports!
Sydney is thrilled to be a resource to our team and to our families. She says, “Having grown up around the company since it was founded, it’s an honor to now contribute to its mission in a leadership capacity. Home Care Matters provides compassionate, reliable in-home care that truly makes a difference in people’s lives — and I’m thrilled to help expand our reach and impact through marketing and community engagement. I graduated with a B.S. in Biology from Georgia College and State University (Class of 2023) and am currently pursuing my second degree in Business Management at the University of West Georgia, set to graduate this May. I am excited to combine my background in science and business to bring a fresh perspective to home care marketing and business development. I am looking forward to continuing to grow both personally and professionally with such a passionate team.”

Valerie has the unique experience with home care as she has experienced it from both ends of the spectrum, as a caregiver and as needing care herself as a cancer survivor. Valerie says, “Taking care of someone you love is a physically, mentally and demanding labor of love.Taking care of my mom was the hardest thing I have ever done. It has given me an insight and perspective not many people understand unless you are doing it or have done it.I loved taking care of my mom.I love helping others take care of their love ones too.And now that I’ve been sick, it’s given me a whole new level of empathy and understanding for those who are sick and need help.”
