Amazing Hands: Fulfilling a Dream by Filling a Need
Our small business C-DEE program helped turn a dream of entrepreneurship into a reality.
A Passion for Care Inspires a Healthcare Staffing Business
Enoche Iwodi is the co-founder and COO of Amazing Hands Healthcare Staffing LLC in Concord, New Hampshire. A Licensed Nursing Assistant (LNA), she started her nursing career in 2020. And she loves her job — taking care of people and making sure that they're happy. She also realized that if she was to succeed, she would need to duplicate her depth of care for clients. This thinking led to the idea of running an agency to staff nursing homes with LNAs.
Enoche tells the story best: “I've always wanted to be an entrepreneur. I've always wanted to own a business. Because I realized that, no matter how much you work, you can never buy back your time. You’ll be trading your time for money and I didn’t want that.”
She thought about what she could do and saw an opportunity in the healthcare setting.
"I love my job," Enoche said. "So I felt that I could replicate what I do — how passionate I am with my job — in other people.
"It's like marrying my passions — what I want to do — with what I love to do. I want to be an entrepreneur and I love to take care of people. I just married the two together and Amazing Hands was born.”
Amazing Hands launched in November of 2023 with two LNAs — Enoche and her business partner. And they’ve been growing rapidly. They expect to employ 25 to 30 staff across two facilities by the end of 2024 and anticipate closing out 2025 with 50 to 60 employees.
