As a caretaker at Life with Joy, I am able to support and brighten the lives of our clients, make a positive impact, and improve the quality of their lives.
Simple tasks that I take for granted are not as easy for our clients to complete alone. It has been an eye-opening experience to get such appreciation for something as simple as making tea or taking them out for a walk. My client reminds me at the end of each day what he is grateful for. What a wonderful attitude to have! This also reminds me to give thanks every day.
LWJ is an innovative way to connect our clients in a safe atmosphere, where they can learn skills for future employment, build relationships, and gain awareness of the natural environment. Our philosophy embraces well-being, which is about attaining the best health possible. We guide our clients to eat well and exercise, and we all encourage each other to do better.
Working at Life with Joy has been my most rewarding experience. With all the challenges that come working with people on the spectrum, it still doesnt top the Joy that it brought me. We are always doing fun activities like gardening, going out into the community and going on fun trips! Working with the clients always make me feel warm in my heart and brings a specific happiness that makes you feel amazing.
Amazing organization and after doing an interview for my human service class I really was able to say how great they are. My son is on the spectrum and I always wonder what will happen as he gets older and now I know a place he can be himself and learn.
