Westminster, VT – Kurn Hattin Homes for Children is pleased to announce several new staff additions during the final quarter of 2023. These changes represent a continuous focus on developing and strengthening the team that provides service to the children who live and learn at the Homes.
Sonja Anderson has joined the Homes’ residential staff as a houseparent. The responsibility of a houseparent is to provide a safe, homelike environment for the children living in her cottage and to help them with day-to-day needs. Sonja comes to the Homes all the way from Juneau, Alaska, where she lived for the past 19 years.
Matthew “Matt” Kobel, has joined the Homes’ food service team as a utility cook in the Watson Dining Hall. He is a welcome addition whose skill in the kitchen contributes to the quality meals served to the children and staff.
Irmagard “Irma” Lasalle, the newest member of the Homes’ maintenance team grew up on a dairy farm in Bavaria, Germany and helped keep the house clean while her mother tended to the cows. She was on a mission to keep things ‘spic and span’ then, and she looks forward to doing the same at Kurn Hattin Homes now.
