Caregiving isn’t just a career; it’s a calling. It requires an extraordinary blend of patience, empathy, expertise, and a resilient heart. Every single day, our team at FirstLight Home Care of NOCO witnesses incredible acts of kindness, but today, we are thrilled to shine a national spotlight on someone who truly embodies the gold standard of care.
We are incredibly proud to announce that Amanda Hartley has been officially nominated and recognized by our corporate office for the Caregiver of the Year Award!

What Makes Amanda So Special?
Since joining us in 2021, Ms. Hartley has consistently gone above and beyond for her clients. Whether it’s anticipating a need before a client even asks, creating tailored activities to bring joy to a rainy afternoon, or providing a calming, steady presence during a medical hurdle, Amanda treats every individual like family.
In fact, there is yet to be a client or family that hasn’t asked to have Amanda regularly. She is so comforting and relatable that our clients vie for her care. It’s the little things, like noticing a client needs something before they do, or freshening up a space.
It’s these specific moments of selflessness that turn standard home care into life-changing support.
More Than a Job: A True Passion
What makes Amanda stand out is her proactive approach to care. She excels at meeting difficult situations head on with grace and care. She has never shied away from any of our most challenging clients and ends up loving and being loved deeply in return by family and clients alike.
When you love what you do, it shows. And for Amanda, caregiving is a passion that leaves a lasting, positive mark on everyone encountered.
