As the Branch Manager for Nova Scotia South, Shannon Osborne brings a diverse background in community service, client support, and relationship-driven work. Before joining Earth Angels, she gained valuable experience with both the March of Dimes and the Victorian Order of Nurses (VON), where she developed a strong understanding of client needs, care coordination, and compassionate support. Her career has also included roles in real estate, retail management, and hospitality, each contributing to her ability to connect with people, understand their goals, and deliver exceptional service. Whether guiding families through important decisions or leading teams with empathy and professionalism, she has built her career around helping others feel supported and confident. She lives in the beautiful Annapolis Valley with her husband, Jeff. They have two adult daughters, one living in the Valley and the other in Bridgewater, and she is a proud grandmother to one very adorable grandson. She is grateful to work with the dedicated team at Earth Angels, supporting individuals in staying safely and comfortably in their homes for as long as possible.
