Adding Caregivers/DSPs

Caregivers (also referred to as DSPs) can be added to Giv either individually or in bulk. Here’s how to get started with both options.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Option 1: add a single caregiver

  1. Navigate to the Caregivers/DSPs section in the sidebar.

  2. Click Create Caregiver

  3. Enter:

    • First Name

    • Last Name

    • Email address

      📌 If the caregiver doesn’t have an email, you can make one up—just be sure to use a unique email. Duplicate emails will be blocked.

  4. Click Submit

This method is quick and useful for adding one or two caregivers at a time.


Option 2: upload multiple caregivers via CSV

  1. In the Caregivers/DSPs section, click Upload Caregivers

  2. Download the CSV Template

    • The template includes:

      • First Name

      • Last Name

      • Email

  3. Fill out the spreadsheet with your caregiver details

Use Google Sheets, Excel, or Numbers—just make sure to export/save the file as .csv format.

  1. Return to the upload page

  2. Click Choose File and select your completed CSV

  3. Click Submit Caregivers

Once submitted, your new caregivers will appear in the caregiver list.


Pro tip

  • Make sure every email in your CSV is unique.
    If you try to reuse an email already in the system, the upload will fail for that row.


That’s It!

Now your caregivers are ready to:

  • Be assigned to clients

  • Clock in and out using the Giv mobile app

  • Complete shift documentation
