Frequently Asked Questions

More FAQ’s

When will I get a call for a job?

We cannot guarantee when you will get a phone

call to work for an individual, but these programs

are growing rapidly and there is a constant need

for new providers.

Will I need to get a background check?

Yes, before you are hired to work for an

individual we complete a criminal background

check in our office. It is then up to the employer to

continue with the hiring process based on any

results.

How many hours can I work?

Each provider can work up to 25.75 hours/week

for each client. But you can work for as many

employers as you would like.
