Questions

Tap any question to see the answer.

How much does it pay?

Most DSP openings pay $18 to $20 an hour. The exact rate is set by each hiring agency and can depend on shift and training.

I have never worked in healthcare. Does my experience count?

Yes. Fast food, retail, cashier, clerical, babysitting, caretaking and cleaning jobs all build DSP skills.

  • Fast food and restaurants. You can cook, work fast and stay calm during a busy rush.
  • Retail and cashier. You are patient with people and good at helping them.
  • Clerical and office. You keep good notes, and DSPs write daily notes every shift.
  • Babysitting and caretaking. You already know how to care for someone and keep them safe.
  • Cleaning and housekeeping. You know how to keep a home clean, safe and running smoothly.
  • Caring for family. Helping a parent, child or relative counts as real experience.
Where are the jobs?

Sign up from anywhere on Long Island. I match you with homes close to where you live.

  • Nassau County: Hempstead, Freeport, Valley Stream, Levittown, Hicksville, Mineola and nearby towns.
  • Suffolk County: Brentwood, Bay Shore, Central Islip, Huntington, Patchogue, Medford, Riverhead and nearby towns.
Do I need experience to become a DSP?

No experience is needed. Many DSPs come from fast food, retail, babysitting or caring for family. Agencies train new hires.

What education do I need?

Most openings need a high school diploma or GED. You do not need a college degree.

Are there part time and overnight jobs?

Yes. Group homes need people for part time, full time, overnight and weekend shifts.

Is this a home health aide job?

It is similar. Home health aides visit people in their own homes. DSPs work in group homes, where a few adults live together with staff support.

Will I give medications?

After you complete AMAP medication training, you can help people take their medications safely. You do not need it before you start.

Who will I be supporting?

Adults with autism, Down syndrome and other intellectual and developmental disabilities who live in group homes across Long Island.

Do I need a car?

No. Non-drivers are welcome. A license helps for some openings, and I will match you to homes that fit.
