Nicci Egan

Senior Manager

I was born and raised in England. I made my home in Colorado over 30 years ago. The western slope is my favorite place to be; especially the views of the West Elks. I have lived and worked in Delta County since 2017 and love this community.

My grandfather was the biggest positive influence in my life. He taught me to never fear change, to rely on my faith, and to embrace my journey. I cherish the wisdom, work ethic and grace he shared with me. 

I am recently married. Together we enjoy photography, gardening, travel and art. In my spare time, I am a writer, composer, singer/performer. I enjoy home improvement projects and love to cook and bake for my family and friends. 

I am very excited to be part of the Comfort Keepers family, serving our clients with the respect, dignity and compassion they deserve.
