Meet The Team

​Jessica Ballentyne is a highly experienced healthcare professional, entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for helping people live life to the fullest. Alongside her husband, Tim, she is the founder of Your Neighborhood Nurses, a personalized mobile nursing and wellness service built from decades of shared experience in emergency medicine and a genuine desire to care for people in a more personal way.

Before becoming a nurse, Jessica spent years working in emergency medicine as a Flight Paramedic, providing critical care aboard medical helicopters. Her experience in air medical transport gave her a strong foundation in emergency response, critical care, teamwork, and caring for patients during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

Jessica and Tim eventually made the decision to continue their education and went to nursing school together. They went on to work side-by-side as Emergency Room and Trauma Nurses, bringing their extensive backgrounds in emergency medicine into the hospital setting.

Their years in emergency and trauma care taught them something that would ultimately shape their vision for Your Neighborhood Nurses: exceptional healthcare isn't always about what happens inside a hospital. It is also about listening, building trust, meeting people where they are, and providing care that fits into their lives.

That belief became the foundation for Your Neighborhood Nurses.

Jessica brings a personalized and holistic approach to wellness, with a focus on helping clients feel their best and continue doing the things they love. She believes healthcare should be personal, compassionate, convenient, and centered around the individual—not simply the diagnosis.

Whether someone is looking to get back in the saddle, stay in the saddle, or thrive in everyday life, Jessica and her team bring professional, compassionate care directly to the client.

For Jessica, Your Neighborhood Nurses is much more than a business. It is a way to continue the calling that began in emergency medicine: serving others, caring deeply, and helping people thrive.

Her philosophy is beautifully summed up in the words:

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Matthew 22:39

Together with Tim, Jessica is creating a concierge healthcare experience where exceptional clinical experience meets genuine hospitality, personalized attention, and a heart for serving others.

​With more than 30 years of experience in emergency medicine, Tim Ballentyne brings a lifetime of frontline medical experience, leadership, and a heart for serving others to Your Neighborhood Nurses.

Tim’s career began in emergency services, where he served as a firefighter, paramedic, and Captain, ultimately retiring from the fire department after dedicating decades to caring for people during some of their most critical moments. Along the way, he also served as a Paramedic Instructor and Flight Paramedic, gaining extensive experience in emergency response, critical care, trauma, and patient transport.

Retirement from the fire service didn’t mean retirement from caring for people. Tim and his wife, Jessica, went back to nursing school together and became Emergency Room and Trauma Nurses, continuing to work side-by-side caring for patients in high-acuity environments.

Their shared passion for nursing, emergency medicine, and helping people live life to the fullest eventually led them to create Your Neighborhood Nurses.

Today, Tim and Jessica combine decades of emergency medical experience with a personalized concierge approach—bringing compassionate, professional care directly to their clients wherever they are.

For Tim, nursing has never simply been a career. It has been a calling: to serve, to care, to educate, and to help people thrive.

At the heart of Your Neighborhood Nurses is a simple philosophy:

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” — Matthew 22:39

Tim is proud to continue that mission alongside Jessica—helping their clients get back in the saddle, stay in the saddle, and thrive.
