Age: 28

Position: Child Care

Joy is such a leader here on our staff at Ekisa. Each morning, she arrives bright and early to get a start on making sure breakfast is ready and getting our kids ready for the day. She will always be one to initiate singing and dancing with the kids. As her name says, she truly resonates joy around the house. Her ability to love each child unconditionally is such a special thing to see here, and each one of the kids adore Joy for the bright and spunky person that she is. We are so thankful that we have a leader and a hard- working woman like her here on our staff.

"I love the children here. Each day, they brighten my spirit. This is such a special place."
