Lexington, KY Family Home Providers

Hi, we are Magnie and Pascal! We are excited to open our home as FHPs and welcome someone new into our lives. We are a quiet, Christian family who enjoy going to church every Sunday. We enjoy many things from watching movies and football to eating out, shopping, traveling and exploring new things!

My name is Elisha and I am from a large family with 7 boys. I was Democratic Republic of Congo. I was always surrounded with a very loving and caring family. After moving to the United States my first job in 2013 was providing care for adults with special needs as a DSP for several companies here in town. Since then I earned my SRNA certification and worked with the state of Kentucky for 2 years. In 2018 I joined Life Works as a Family Home Provider. For me, being an FHP gives me the opportunity to be a brother and mentor for others, welcoming them into my family.

I am a member of Rehoboth Community Church. I love working out and spending time outdoors. One of my best moments is when I get to see the smile on my clients’ faces when we travel to places that are on my clients’ wish list.

Hi my name is Edine. I was born and raised in Haiti. I came to America in 2001 and I studied nursing. Now I’m a registered nurse and currently working for Select Specialty hospital. I have one child who is my pride and joy and also my mini me. My passion is to help people do better for themselves. I take pride and honor in knowing I’m able to serve others with their needs. I’m a great listener, I’m compassionate, and definitely have a upbeat and contagious friendly personality. I decided to provide FHP services in my home because I love caring for others and I felt like it was the right thing to do to open my home to those who are in need of a great friendly, Christian based type of environment.

There’s never a dull moment in my home with my extra family. I have learned so much and so have they. I enjoy each one of them because they are truly part of my family now. It has been a great journey so far and hopefully continuously.

My name is Sulayman and I have been a Family Home Provider since 2016. I have been a caretaker for many years, first joining The Red Cross at an early stage in life. I had the opportunity to help people who were sick and suffering during natural disasters like fires and floods and participate in fundraising activities. I also visited the sick in hospitals and assisted them with their ADLs. Coming to America, gave me wider opportunities to fulfil my dream of supporting individuals with disabilities. My colleagues describe me as soft spoken, compassionate, kind, and eager to learn.

My name is Felix and I live with my wife Josephine and son Zachary. I have been caring for individuals with special needs for the past 11 years. I find it very rewarding being able to assist and bring smiles to the individuals I care for through love and dedication. I believe that everyone has a purpose and when given the opportunity, he/she can be productive and make an impact in the community. Believing we can help individuals achieve their goals, we have chosen to open our hearts and home to accommodate and assist them to reach their potential with respect and dignity.

Coming soon!

Hello, l’m Evelyn from Cameroon, a single mother of a wonderful girl, and a Christian. I join Life Works in 2015 as a relief worker in a good number of houses. In 2019 I chose to become an FHP. I love taking care of people, no matter who they are or what their needs are. Having worked in the nursing home for more than five years, l know the joy it brings to someone when you give a listening ear or help to put a smile on their face. Having individuals with disabilities as part of my family is not just to help them with activities of daily life, but a way of showing love to humanity.

Hi, my name is Hilary! I have always known I wanted to help others but was never sure where that was going to take me. When my niece was born with Cerebral palsy 13 years ago, I became very aware of the needs in our community and decided this is where I am meant to be helping.

Our little family loves life and all it has to offer! We stay on the go exploring new places and having adventures.  We also love to eat! We like to try new local places everywhere we go and try new recipes at home. When we are all worn out from our activities, we love a good movie night with our two dogs.

Hello, my name is Charlotte and I am from a small country in East Africa called Burundi! I am passionate about my work and strive to put my best foot forward every day. From my parents, I learned to be diligent about my work and hope I have passed this along to my children. Because of my love for what I do I have a steady source of motivation that drives me to do my best.

I am a kind-hearted and caring individual who looks out for others. I try to help others in any way I can. My life has taught me to treat everyone like family and to take each day as a blessing. This philosophy led me to this line of work and has helped me support people from all backgrounds. My clients are family to me and I make sure they get treated as such.

Hi, my name is Martha. I am a Ghanaian by birth. I am a Christian and attending church is important to me. I am the proud mother of four children. Being a mom is perhaps my favorite thing. As a mom I like to extend my motherly love not only to my kids but to everyone who needs that love. I have chosen to provide FHP services in my home so others can have a home that will make them feel loved, offered help with their daily living activities and be accepted in society as a whole.

Hello, my name is Wantrice. I have been an FHP for 15 years for the same individual and 4 years for my other individual.  They are truly a part of our family. My daughter and my sons have also chosen to work in this field. I have 4 beautiful grandchildren and a Yorkie. On most weekends my clients and I enjoy going shopping, to see movies, bowling and to church on Sundays. Family gatherings are very important to us as well.

My name is Harriet and l am happily married with three children. I live near Jacobson Park in Lexington. I have been a care giver for the past ten years. I love indoor and outdoor games.

My name is Bamba and I was born and raised in Senegal, West Africa. Coming from a family-oriented background, I was always taught that everybody needs somebody, regardless if they are family or not. I feel that my purpose in life is a caregiver, because I have always felt the need to help those that may struggle with life’s obstacles, or those that can’t help themselves.

Ten years ago I was given the opportunity to work with many people with various disabilities. I wanted them to think of me as family, rather than just a worker/employee. I have always enjoyed taking care of all of others. Assisting each individual with their specific needs is one thing, but treating them with respect, making them feel like they are family and including them in all types of events and outings such as sports, music and entertainment makes they’re presence more rewarding not only to me, but to themselves as well.

Hi, my name is Jason. I have been an FHP for about 6 years now and have enjoyed the time I have spent with the clients in our home. I became an FHP because I felt I had so much I could share with others and help them to live a better life. I enjoy taking my guys out into the community and trying new and old things. Others have stated that I am a good guy with a big heart who likes to help others when I can. I consider myself to be friendly, dependable, humorous, and easy going. I live on the border of Lexington and Winchester. My home is on 5 acres and is considered a mini farm where we garden and raise about 25 chickens. We also have a Dalmatian dog so I do hope you like animals. I have males that live in my home and we like to spend time outside in the yard and having bonfires. On the weekends we like to go bowling, to church, catch a movie, and eat out. We also attend a Wednesday night dinner bible study at church, along with other many others activities like going to festivals, dances, and yard sales.
