Our Team

Owner / Director :

Kristin Stetler Donovan

Throughout my life I have been passionate about caring for others. As a young girl, I volunteered; as a young woman, I had the honor of caring for my mother and my father; and currently, I am honored to hold the title of Mother to three beautiful children! I am married to a wonderful husband who supports and encourages me in my personal and business endeavors. I was born and raised in Delaware and will more than likely always reside in Delaware. After graduating from University of Delaware with a BAAS in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication I joined MBNA where I worked and managed for many years before leaving to raise my children and care for my parents.

Now that my children are older and my parents have passed away, it only seemed logical that I take my 25 years of management and caregiving skills and begin a new chapter of my life. After losing my parents and a sibling within a three-year time span it inspired me to open my agency and serve those that were tired and in need of additional support. No one knows better what is entailed being a caregiver for a loved one better than someone who has been one.

My desire in life is to find a way to help as many people as possible and now, together with my staff, we are doing just that.

Ensuring safety, preserving dignity, and serving respectfully is our utmost priority! Quality care starts with a careful and meticulous hiring process, hiring only those that meet our high standards and who are truly committed to the families they serve. Our staff has a unique ability to match people with just the right caregiver; one who is compatible with our client’s care requirements, lifestyle, and personality. There is a perfect caregiver for everyone, and we won’t stop until we find the perfect match!

On a personal note, I enjoy spending time with family, my three labrador retrievers and working out. I've also recently joined the board of the Delaware Small Business Chamber beginning January 2025.

Client Relations Manager:

Jennifer Christensen

I am a Delawarean transplant coming from Abington, Pennsylvania. Many years ago, I married my husband Scott, who is in the Army Reserves and works for the Department of the Army in Cyber Security. We have two beautiful daughters, Veronica, who is attending Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama and Amelia, currently attending Temple University. I am a veteran of the Air Force Reserves, where I served 8 years out of the Willow Grove Joint Reserve Base. I started my career in senior living as a Nursing Assistant in high school. Throughout the years I’ve held many positions in the Senior Living Industry, such as; Independent Living Manager, Activities Director, Food and Beverage Manager, as well as, Long Term Care Ombudsman for the State of Delaware the last several years.

I love playing pickleball whenever I can, spending time on the beach, gardening, taking a walk at any one of the beautiful state parks here in Delaware and rooting for my favorite team, the Philadelphia Eagles.

From a very young age it became apparent that my desire was to serve and help others, as you can see in my work history. I joined Aging in Place Senior Care Services because I want to continue to be an advocate for our aging population and ensure quality service through my role as Client Relations Manager. Joining an established home care seemed like a perfect next step for me. I find great satisfaction in knowing that I have made a connection with a senior and have made a positive impact in their life.

Office Manager:

Charlie Donovan

I met Kristin Stetler in February of 2014. Age Advantage of Delaware was in its infancy, being licensed just 3 months prior on November 14th of 2013. I was enamored by her personality, as well as her courage to open her own business and the passion she had for it, not to mention the devotion and compassion she had for people. Whether it be her own children, her senior clients and families or her employees, I had never met such a devoted, caring person. That is why, in February 2015, I asked for her hand in marriage and on July 12, 2015, it came to be so. I assisted her in her business any way I could while continuing my own career as a Landscape Designer. The following year in April 2016, I joined Kristin, working side by side to grow her agency serve our senior population. I wear many hats, helping out wherever there is a need, but my focus has been Human Resources, payroll, billing and long-term care claims.

Over the years I have had the privilege of getting to meet and know so many clients and their families and to be able to help bring a little peace of mind to them while helping their loved ones is what I love most about being part of the service we provide as Aging in Place Senior Care Services.

Scheduling Coordinator:

Steff DiMartine

I've dedicated my life to making a meaningful difference in every community I touch. Through my professional career and volunteer endeavors, I've become a passionate advocate for those who often go unheard. With a proven talent for fundraising, my dedication is evident to all I encounter.

My extensive nonprofit involvement, coupled with my coaching and fundraising efforts, has always complemented my previous work as an Event Coordinator and Donor Relations Advocate. My career includes three impactful years with Easter Seals and three years with Children & Families First.

My personal commitments include being involved as a member of the Delaware Small Business Chamber Board, since 2023. I am currently President of the Northern Delaware United States Bowling Association, and promote the sport of bowling while also serving as a devoted coach for Special Olympics Bocce and Basketball. My philanthropic spirit shines brightly through my leadership with the PoleR Plunge Team and personal fundraising efforts which have raised over $225,000 in the past five years, including an impressive $55,000 raised personally to support Special Olympics.

When the opportunity presented itself to work with seniors and help them remain independent and safe, it seemed like an amazing new opportunity to help those in need. I feel like I've found a home at Aging in Place helping others remain in their homes.

I reside in New Castle, Delaware with my husband Nick and our five beloved cats: Greyson, Stella, Sunshine, Lovebug, and Sterling.
