Darlyn Nieves

Assistant Program Director
With Nonotuck since: 2012

Darlyn was born and raised in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. She moved to Massachusetts in 2003 at the age of 17, and obtained a job in direct care as a residential counselor supporting people with disabilities. She decided to continue this career path and in 2011 graduated from Fitchburg State University with a Bachelor of Science in human services, while still working one-on-one with persons with disabilities. This experience served as the foundation for her current position as a care manager at the Sterling office, where she works to promote and support the development of healthy relationships between caregivers and people served. She joined the Nonotuck team in November 2012, and is very proud of being a part of this team. In her free time, she loves to spend time with family and friends.

Patti has been working in human services since 2007. She became interested in this field of work after working in a residential treatment program as part of her studies in college and immediately pursued a career in human services after she graduated. She was drawn to work at Nonotuck after researching the agency and feeling that it would be a good fit for her based on a commonality of core values.

“(Through shared living) people with a disability experience a real transformation and discover confidence in themselves; they discover their capacity to make choices, and also find a certain liberty and above all their dignity as human beings.”
