For DSPs
Off-duty work for DSPs — kids, adults, your choice
If you're a DSP in the Treasure Valley working with people with IDD, your work matters. It's also exhausting and underpaid. A few off-duty hours at $25/hour can shore up a hard month.
We serve families of children and adults with autism and IDD. You get to pick which bookings make sense.
Day-job reality
What your week looks like
- • Idaho DSP W-2 rates are some of the lowest in the country for the work being asked.
- • Long shifts, sometimes 16-hour days, sometimes overnights.
- • Burnout is common. Off-duty hours that don't drain you are gold.
The fit
Why a few off-duty hours work
- • Many of our DSP sitters work in group homes during the week and want shorter, lighter bookings on weekends.
- • Several of our DSP sitters prefer adult IDD bookings — comfortable space, familiar profile.
- • Pay is consistent regardless of whether the booking is a child or adult.
The difference
What's different from your day job
- • You're sitting, not delivering services. No agency paperwork, no support plans, no incident notes.
- • You pick your bookings. Decline anything that doesn't work for you, no quota penalty.
- • If a family books for an adult with IDD, the work is closer to what you do at your day job — minus the institutional overhead.
Pay
$25/hour, flat
$25/hour flat across all credentials and ages of person served. The 2-hour minimum is paid in full.
Common questions
- Do I have to take adult IDD bookings?
- No. Set your preferences in your profile — kids only, adults only, or both. We only surface matches in your preferred range.
- Will I have to lift or transfer adults?
- We're explicit with families that DSP sitting is companionship and supervision, not personal-care services. If a booking requires transfers or personal care, we tell the family that isn't in scope here and we won't surface you for it.
- How fast do I get paid?
- $25/hour via Stripe. New: T+7 business days. Trusted: T+3. Premier: T+1 or instant for $2.
