Getting paid to care for family

Can I really get paid to care for my own family member?

Yes. If your family member qualifies for New Jersey's DDD (Division of Developmental Disabilities) program, a parent, sibling, or other relative can become their paid DSP. We handle the enrollment, training, scheduling, and payroll.

Who in my family can be paid?

Parents, siblings, and other relatives can step into the DSP role. Every family's situation is different - reach out and we will confirm exactly what works for yours.

What does it cost my family?

Nothing. There is no cost to your family, ever.

My loved one is not enrolled with DDD yet. Can we still start?

Yes - talk to us anyway. We will tell you exactly what the next step is and walk you through it.

What training is required?

The required DSP training, which is free - with our team walking you through every step.

What if I need a break?

That is what our In-Home Respite service is for - a trained, pre-screened DSP you trust steps in while you rest.
