What Florida requires, and what we look for
Florida requires a Level 2 background screening for anyone at a licensed home care provider who works directly with clients. Your fingerprints are checked against state and national records through the state's Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse, and we begin the screening after your interview.
If your fingerprints are already on file from another Florida health care position, please tell us, because the Clearinghouse can share an existing screening between employers. The Florida Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse explains how screening works, which offenses disqualify someone and how exemptions work.
The application asks whether you hold a Florida Home Health Aide certificate or a CNA certification. Beyond credentials, we look for experienced caregivers: people who can help a client out of bed safely for you both, who notice when a client has stopped eating, and who can hear the same story twice in an afternoon with patience. You can read more about the home care our clients receive and the towns we serve.
What we ask of caregivers
- A current, valid photo ID
- The legal right to work in the United States
- Experience caring for someone
- A warm, patient way with people
- Fingerprints for Florida's Level 2 background screening

How does hiring work after I apply?

Do I need a Level 2 background screening to work as a caregiver in Florida?
Yes. Florida requires a Level 2 background screening for anyone at a licensed home care provider who works directly with clients. The screening is fingerprint-based, checks state and national criminal records, and runs through the Agency for Health Care Administration's Care Provider Background Screening Clearinghouse. We begin it after your interview. If your fingerprints are already on file from another Florida health care position, please let us know, because the Clearinghouse can share an existing screening between employers.
