This week's employee spotlight:
This week, we’re excited to recognize Samantha Laisure, a Direct Support Professional who has been part of the Share and Care team since April 8, 2024.
Samantha has worked as a DSP throughout her time with Share and Care, and she is currently participating in the DSP National Apprenticeship Program. While she isn’t looking to move into a different position, Samantha is committed to continuing to grow within her role. She values both hands-on experience and continued education and appreciates that there is always something new to learn.
One of Samantha’s favorite parts of being a DSP is finding creative ways to make each day a little more enjoyable for the individuals she supports. She practices songs they can sing together and comes up with different crafts and activities they can enjoy—sometimes even creating things they can make for others. Her creativity helps turn everyday moments into opportunities for connection, engagement, and fun.
That creativity carries over into Samantha’s life outside of work as well. She is a mom of five and an aunt to five more, and with a house often full of family on the weekends, her collection of songs, crafts, and activity ideas gets plenty of use both at home and at work!
Samantha’s desire to continue learning while bringing creativity and meaningful experiences into the lives of the individuals she supports is a wonderful example of the impact a dedicated DSP can have. We’re happy to have Samantha as part of the Share and Care team and look forward to seeing her continue to grow through the Apprenticeship Program and beyond!
