Matching with a Client
This happens toward the end of training, after all requirements for the onboarding process have been completed. You will be asked to fill out a form in the PD app, indicating your availability for scheduling as well as certain criteria to ensure a good “fit”. Our matching process is two-way; we ask clients about their criteria and strive to connect like-minded folks. You should expect to be matched to a family within 2 weeks of completing training.
