Sam Dietz – Director of Operations. Sam has been with leaves since October 2020. He came to us directly from an orthopedics unit at Butterworth Hospital where he cared for patients as a Nurse Technician. Since he attended Cornerstone University at the same time he worked at Butterworth, he also has a bachelor’s degree in business. Sam and his wife Margie, a nurse, both share a passion for healthcare. They also share three incredible sons. His favorite part about working for Leaves is his interaction with our caregivers- “I am always humbled at the level of compassion our caregivers provide on a regular basis. They are truly high caliber individuals.”

Jill – Scheduling Coordinator. Jill began in March of 2020, just as Covid 19 broke out. Before that, she spent 18 years working for Innovative Research which was first owned by Gerber and now by Nestle. She married the love of her life, Mark, 38 years ago which resulted in 2 wonderful children – a daughter and a son.  Her children then blessed her with 3 amazing grandchildren and one more on the way. Jill’s favorite part about working at Leaves is working for a company that puts God above everything else.

Deborah – Office Support. Prior to working with Leaves, Deborah held a stressful banking position. In 2017, she gave up the stress and decided to work part-time for Leaves. Deborah absolutely loves it – the people she works with and the work that she does! Her work entails receptionist duties and handling the Long-Term Care Insurance clients.  Deborah and her husband of over 6 years are blessed to provide love and support in both their roles as Licensed Foster Parents and as directors of a ministry to inner city kids in Grand Rapids.

Iesha – Weekend Scheduler. Iesha Williams joined the Leaves team in the Spring of 2024. She joined us our weekend scheduler but in 2025, when our lead scheduler Jill had a health scare, Iesha stepped up big time to help out the team. She’s built a great relationship with all our caregivers and clients, and has even helped out doing some caregiving when needed. In her spare time, Iesha enjoys renovating campers and trailers and is a strong, independent woman. If you call Leaves in the evening or on weekends, you’ll likely talk to Iesha. Be sure and say, Hi!

Amanda – Recruiter. Amanda joined Leaves in the fall of 2024 and has done a great job of growing our team and helping us find great caregivers. She and her husband live in Byron Center with their three children. Amanda has experience doing caregiving so she understands the needs of our clients and the type of personality it takes to be a phenomenal caregiver. If you’re interested in joining our team, contact Amanda and share your ‘why’. We are always hiring the right people to serve our clients with dignity, excellence, relationship and advocacy.
