Amanda's Story

Amanda shares that HIL provides individuals with opportunities they may not otherwise have access to.

MyPath Employee Owner, Amanda

Amanda has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing compassionate, person-centered care while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those she supports.

For the past four years, Amanda has been a valued employee-owner of Homes for Independent Living (HIL), A MyPath Company, serving as a Direct Support Professional at our Shade Tree and Cooper’s Run adult family homes. Throughout her journey, Amanda has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to providing compassionate, person-centered care while making a meaningful difference in the lives of those she supports.

Amanda is known for her caring nature, empathy, and dedication to helping the individuals of HIL succeed. She consistently goes above and beyond for the individuals she serves and her co-workers, treating each individual with respect, always striving to provide the highest level of care.

When asked what she loves most about working at HIL, Amanda shared that “it’s being able to help the individuals we serve and seeing their individual growth and accomplishments as they reach their goals.” Amanda also believes one of the most important things people should know about HIL is that the company provides individuals with opportunities they may not otherwise have access to.

Outside of HIL, Amanda has been very busy accomplishing some impressive milestones of her own! In 2023, Amanda became a licensed nail technician, is a proud cat mom to Sasha, and is preparing to purchase her second home.

Now, Amanda is embarking on a new and exciting journey with HIL as she steps into the role of Direct Support Supervisor! Amanda looks forward to expanding her knowledge of the operational side of HIL while continuing to support the individuals at Shade Tree.

Amanda’s passion, knowledge, compassion, and dedication make her an incredible asset to the HIL team. Her supervisor is excited to see her grow as a leader with HIL and continue to make positive impacts on those she serves.

Find your perfect fit

We know how important it is to find a workplace that fits you — from coworkers that you connect with to doing work that fills your heart and soul. It’s why we encourage people to explore their options. We have 10 MyPath companies and 150 locations that allow you to find the place that perfectly fits you.

Working at a MyPath Company

Our employees are why MyPath companies work so well for the people we serve. They’re the reason we’re 100% employee-owned and have nine MyPath companies and 150 locations throughout Wisconsin and Indiana. To help take care of the future of our people, employees who are with us for a year, with over 1000 hours of work, begin to receive company-funded MyPath stock shares. After that first year, continued employment with us means continued growth in the number of company shares you receive.

This culture of ownership goes beyond stock. As an employee owner, you can expect transparency, respect and appreciation. If you are called to help others and be part of something bigger, MyPath can help you explore opportunities throughout its many organizations.
