Caregiver - Help People at Home - Summit County

About the role

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers across 14 cities in Summit County. This is a calling for those who genuinely care about the elderly community.

What Your Day Looks Like

• You drive to someone’s home.
• You help with daily life activities such as baths, dressing, making meals, light cleaning, and running errands.
• You keep them company.
• Most clients are older adults needing assistance to stay independent.
• This work involves physical activity and being on your feet most of the day.
• If you need help with tasks, you can discuss what works best.
• You do not give medicine or handle medical tasks; those are for nurses.

Before You Apply

Home care is not just a job; it’s a calling. This work is for those who genuinely care about the elderly community, not just those chasing a paycheck. Vulnerable clients depend on you showing up, and quitting can impact their ability to stay independent.

What You'll Earn

• $18/hour for STNA license (active or expired).
• $16-18/hour for HHA certificate or experience, based on interview.
• $16/hour for free training pathway.
• $19-20/hour for caring for a private pay client.

How Your Day Looks

Your shifts can vary from 2-3 hours to 8 hours, depending on the client's needs. You typically work with multiple clients across different days to meet your 20+ hours/week goal. Flexibility is key, but punctuality and reliability are crucial.

Guarantee

We guarantee that if you can travel anywhere we have clients and work with any client, you will start working. We always have clients available, and if there's no immediate match in your area, you're first in line when one opens up.

Reality

While we respect your limits, your client availability will be smaller if you set strict travel or time limits. If you commit to your limits during the phone interview, we expect you to follow them.
