Meet Our Team

Steve Levin started the Philadelphia Home Instead office in 2003. In November of 2023 he purchased the Dresher, PA territory. He uses his experience and passion to provide seniors with a trusted partner, so they can maintain their independence by living safer and more productive lives.

Steve received an Undergraduate Degree in Business Administration from Washington University in St. Louis, and earned a Master’s Degree in Human Resource Development from Villanova University. Prior to owning Home Instead, he was a Human Resources Specialist at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Steve can often be seen volunteering with his dogs, Boomer and Zuzu, at nursing homes, hospitals and with the non-profit pet therapy organization, Pals for Life.

Charlea Lyn joined Steve Levin’s team at Home Instead in June of 2017 after spending many years working in childcare. The switch to senior care was extremely rewarding and Charlea Lyn spent the past several years wearing many different hats within the organization. In November 2023, Charlea Lyn became a co-owner in both the Center City and Dresher locations. She is excited and honored to continue serving the local community!

Originally from a small farm town in New York, Charlea Lyn holds a B.M. in both Music Education and Vocal Performance from SUNY Fredonia as well as a M.M. in Vocal Performance from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. In her free time, she loves to still sing and attend performances, but also prioritizes spending time with loved ones, travelling and reading.

Bri Kerrigan joined Home Instead in July 2024. She is a stroke certified RN, who provided patient care on a trauma/neuro unit at Penn Medicine prior to becoming part of the Home Instead team. Driven by her desire to advocate for seniors after navigating healthcare challenges for her 'Mom-Mom', Bri cares deeply about enhancing the quality of life for older adults.

Residing in West Chester with her husband and their 7-year-old son, Bri cherishes their many adventures together. She is a former business owner of an interior painting company in NYC and a trained pizzaiola who has worked as a Neapolitan pizza chef at one of the city’s most beloved pizzerias.
