Caregiver - Help People at Home - Summit County

**Haven Home Care | Hiring Caregivers Across 14 Cities in Summit County** **WHAT YOU'LL EARN** $18/hour — STNA license (active or expired) $16-18/hour — HHA certificate or experience, based on interview $16/hour — free training pathway $19-20/hour — when you refer and care for a private pay client **WHAT YOUR DAY LOOKS LIKE** You drive to someone's home. You help them with daily life. Baths. Getting dressed. Making meals. Light cleaning. Running errands. Keeping them company. Most of your clients are older adults who need a hand staying independent. This is physical work. You help people move around. You're on your feet most of the day. If you need help doing these tasks, tell us. We can talk about what might work. You do NOT give medicine or handle medical tasks. That's for nurses. **BEFORE YOU APPLY — IS THIS WORK FOR YOU?** Home care isn't just a job. It's a calling. This work is for people who actually CARE about the elderly community. Not people just chasing a paycheck. Our clients are vulnerable — many can't get through the day without help. They depend on you showing up. We've seen people quit after one shift. We've seen people quit after 1-2 weeks because the travel between clients was too much, or the work itself wasn't cut out for them. That hurts us — but it hurts the client more. A vulnerable person who needed help suddenly doesn't have it. They can't just "figure it out." So think hard before you apply. If you start working with a client and then quit or have attendance problems, that client struggles to get through their day. This line of work is hard. But for the right person — someone with empathy, someone whose heart is in this — it's deeply rewarding. Most Home Health Aides work with 2-4 regular clients — the same people every week. You build real relationships. One caregiver has been here 18 years. **14 CITIES WE COVER** Akron, Barberton, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls, Hartville, Hudson, Kent, New Franklin, Norton, Rootstown, Silver Lake, Stow, Tallmadge, Uniontown. We match based on how far you'll travel, not just city names. Tell us 30 minutes and we may assign clients anywhere in that range. **YOU CHOOSE YOUR LIMITS** During your phone interview, you tell us: pets, smoking, travel distance, days and times you're available. We only assign clients that match what YOU said. Period. **THE GUARANTEE:** If you can travel anywhere we have clients AND work with any client — you WILL start working. Quickly. We always have clients somewhere. And if there's no immediate match in your area, you're first in line when one opens up. **THE REALITY:** If you have travel limits or preferences — specific cities, certain days/times, no pets, no smoking — we respect them 100%. But your client availability WILL be smaller. That's not a "maybe," that's math. Example: We have 5 clients open today, but all 5 are in Akron. If you only want Stow clients, you WILL wait until a Stow client opens up. Same for any limit you set. Your first 2 weeks, we test reliability with fill-in shifts. But if a permanent client matches you immediately, we assign them immediately. After that, your regulars are yours. Want more hours? Pick up extra fill-in shifts anytime. **ABOUT SHIFT LENGTHS** Shifts can be as short as 2-3 hours per visit. Some are 4-6 hours. Some are 8 hours. It depends on what the client needs. If a client needs help with a morning bath and breakfast, that's a 2-hour shift. To get to your 20+ hours/week, you'll usually have several clients across different days. Don't expect every shift to be a 6-8 hour block with one client. Most aren't. **WHAT "FLEXIBLE" MEANS HERE** "Flexible" means the days and times you told us you can work. "Flexible" does NOT mean calling off whenever you want or skipping shifts you don't feel like doing. Our clients are older adults who depend on you showing up. If you commit to Monday-Friday afternoons during your phone interview, we expect Monday-Friday afternoons. Attendance is one of the biggest things we lo…
