DSP jobs in Toledo. The questions we get most.

Do I need to be DSP-certified before I apply?+

No. We hire caregivers without DSP certification and pay you to complete training. If you already have STNA, HHA, or DSP credentials, we factor that into your starting pay.

What does a typical DSP shift look like?+

It depends on the client. Some shifts are in the client's home helping with personal care, meals, and community outings. Others are at our adult day program in Maumee. Most shifts are 4 or more hours.

Will I be working with adults, kids, or both?+

Most DSP shifts are with adults on the IO, SELF, or Level One DODD waiver. We also support kids and teens. You tell us your preference on the application and we match.

How fast can I start working as a DSP in Ohio?+

Background check and onboarding paperwork usually take 5 to 10 business days. Strong candidates who apply Monday are often on the schedule by the following Monday.

What is the difference between a DSP and an STNA?+

STNAs are state-tested nursing aides, typically focused on personal care and medical tasks. DSPs work with people who have intellectual or developmental disabilities and focus on independence, behavior support, and community life. Both are paid roles at Reliance.
