Congratulations to one of Maine's Direct Support Professionals of the year ✨ Christie Sims-Yencha! ✨

Christie has been selected to receive a MACSP Direct Support Professional Award! This recognition is being given to 15 DSP's across Maine and it was a competitive selection process and Affinity is so proud to share that Christie is one of those selected! Christie has led a diverse array of activities during her 15.5 years with Affinity, including but not limited to painting, drawing, gardening, crafts, knitting, and community art classes. She creates a nurturing learning environment that promotes independence, creativity, and self-expression. Join us in celebrating her and all she does for our consumers!

“She’s amazing! She has a lot of patience with me and with others. She works with so many of us and I don’t know how she does it. It was a lot of fun doing art class over zoom with her during the pandemic and learning a new way to do art. It was stressful at first, but she helped us learn a lot and showed us that we could do it on our own.” -S

“She helps me with drawing, lets me be creative and do my own projects like pencil shading and painting”- D

“I like following along in art class and paying attention, hanging out, having fun, and having a great day. Christie helps me out making jack-o-lanterns and teaches me how to do things all by myself. I like doing after program art with Christie, she helps me follow directions and helps me talk to friends. She helps me get to know people”- C

“She is very helpful and very patient with me. Even though she is busy she gives me attention and helps me in art. I want her to know that she is very kind, and she helps me pick my own projects, like my cat project I’m working on this week”- H
