Ian Bongaardt

Owner | 10 Years

Owner and son of Sallie and Clark Bongaardt, Ian’s first experiences with caregiving came about when helping his grandparents.  During this time, he grew to understand the needs of older adults and realized how assisting with daily tasks could make a tremendous difference in the life of a senior.  When his parents purchased the Comfort Keepers franchise, he saw the opportunity to continue to help families who were like his own.

Before his current role, Ian worked diligently as a Project Manager (May 2003 – August 2007) and then as a Financial and IT Admin (October 2012 – December 2015).  Family remains a high priority in his life.  When he is not working closely with them at Comfort Keepers, he is spending time with them at home and also refereeing soccer.­

Ian graduated East Stroudsburg University with a B.A in Economics.  His past work experience outside of Comfort Keepers includes working in Financial Services for Vanguard, New York Life, and PNC Bank.

Danielle Simpson

Staffing Coordinator

Danielle is our weekend warrior and caregiver match maker.  Her abilities go beyond finding the right caregiver for our clients.  In the end, she helps our seniors find new friends.  She’s also great when weekend emergencies arise.  Having experienced helping those with dementia within her own family, she joined Comfort Keepers to continue bringing joy to others. 

When she isn’t in the office, she enjoys spending time with her son and her dogs- Dachshunds, her favorite!  Danielle graduated Real Estate School.  Before coming to Comfort Keepers, she worked 10 years at the Delaware County Courthouse.  If you’re looking for a delicious meal, you can also look no further than Danielle.  She has created a number of dishes for our events, staff, and seniors.

Kayla Inemer

Scheduling Team Leader | 3 Years

“We got this!”

Starting out as a receptionist, Kayla now works with multiple departments to ensure that all clients and caregivers have been staffed daily and on a permanent basis.  Through her leadership clients can have peace of mind that they are always being provided the highest quality services, and that caregivers are getting the hours they need.  Her love of helping others is in her DNA, as her family was involved in the medical industry and long term care facilities during her upbringing.

Kayla studied Social Work and Medical Billing in college.  Her past work experience includes working in social services at a geriatric nursing facility for short or long term patients.  When she isn’t at the office, she enjoys spending time with her family.  She is especially fond of being part of her brother’s cheer squad while watching him play sports.
