The Heart of Smiles of the Valley
From our founder, Kemyatta Denise
It all began with a phone call from a family member asking me to check in on her father, my uncle, who was in a nursing home several hours away. She couldn’t get there herself, and without hesitation, I stepped in.
When I arrived, I was heartbroken. The vibrant man I remembered—always helping others with a big smile—was almost unrecognizable. He was dressed in dirty, ill-fitting clothes, his hair was unkempt, and the food being served was barely edible. He didn’t just look forgotten… he looked like he had given up.
I couldn’t let him stay that way.
I bought him new clothes, took him to the barbershop, and helped him get cleaned up so he could attend a family member’s funeral with dignity. When he walked into that room, people lit up. They showered him with compliments, and I saw something spark back in him. His smile returned. His eyes lit up. In that moment, I realized just how powerful dignity and personal care really are.
Soon after, I became his legal guardian and moved closer to care for him full-time. That’s when the real journey began and the seed for our agency was planted.
For the past decade, I’ve had the honor of caring for my uncle—and along the way, I’ve met even more beautiful, wise souls who simply needed a little help and a lot of heart. It’s been my joy to serve them with compassion, patience, and love.
"I Just Want to See You Smile" isn’t just a name. It’s a mission born from personal experience. I wanted to create something that ensures no one’s loved one ever feels forgotten or unseen again.
The Hearts Behind The Mission
Jay Malik Chisley, CEO
My journey into healthcare started with wanting to make a difference in our community—especially for those who often go overlooked. As CEO, my role is to make sure the big picture stays in focus. I’ve been a part of the process from the very beginning and bring years of experience in leadership and strategic planning. Even through life’s curveballs, I’ve stayed committed to our mission: creating something real, sustainable, and centered around care that actually feels like care.
Mariah Paris, CC
I've always had a heart for people. With several years of experience working directly with clients in both medical and non-medical settings, I’ve learned how crucial it is to get care right. As Care Coordinator, I make sure every client is matched with the right caregiver and that no detail slips through the cracks. It’s personal for me—because when you care deeply, it shows in every phone call, schedule, and check-in. I’m proud to be the bridge that helps our clients feel not just cared for, but genuinely understood.
Mahlia Morgan, COO
I didn’t plan to be in healthcare—but life has a way of leading you exactly where you’re needed most. As the daughter of the founder, I’ve seen firsthand how deeply this work impacts lives. I’ve spent the past few years building this agency’s vision from the ground up—designing everything from the branding to the daily operations. Even though I wear many hats, I’m most passionate about making sure our care is always intentional, reliable, and delivered with love. My goal is to make sure every part of our operation runs like clockwork so our clients can simply feel safe, seen, and supported.
