Important: Additional doctor, dental, or specialist appointments may occasionally arise outside of these exact hours.

• Important Note: California Wage Order 15 Your role as a DSP falls under the "Personal Attendant" classification of CA Wage Order 15, meaning your primary focus is hands-on support, supervision, and care. We fiercely protect this classification to ensure you are never overburdened. Any general housekeeping or non-attendant duties are strictly capped and will never exceed 20% of your total weekly hours.

You will need to process urgent paperwork on tight deadlines. How do you ensure accuracy, confidentiality, and proactive initiative when problem-solving administrative tasks?
