Our Team

Acorn would not be what it is without the contributions of our incredible team. They understand what we do and the importance of helping clients find caregivers who are caring and compassionate.

Ann Krill – Finance and Accounting

Ann Krill Head ShotOne of the happiest days for Lorenzo was when he brought on Ann to help with invoicing, accounting and other financial matters for Acorn.

We initially met Ann because she enjoys helping others and was interested in being a caregiver part-time. As we got to know her, we discovered there was so much more she could help us with.

Ann’s quiet, gentle demeanor belies her impressive credentials.   She has a BS from Central Michigan University, an MBA from Walsh College and a Masters in Accounting and Financial Management (MAFM) from the Keller Graduate School of Management.

Ann is the perfect fit for Acorn. She is a warm, caring person who understands the business through personal caregiving experience.  Born and raised in Michigan, Ann relocated to North Carolina in 2004.

Jessica Ransome – Client Support

Jessica Ransome was born and raised in Virginia.  When we told Jessica things could get busy in our office, she just laughed. She and her husband, Lee, are the proud parents of seven children, six of whom they adopted; they wrote the book on being busy!

Jessica worked in the home care industry before Acorn, and her big heart and caring attitude position her to go the extra mile for our clients. In her (very limited) free time, Jessica likes to camp with friends, go fishing, and spend lots of time enjoying her kids — making memories while they are still little.
