About the role

What Your Day Looks Like

• This work involves physical labor, including helping people move around and being on your feet most of the day.
• You do not give medicine or handle medical tasks, which are for nurses.

Before You Apply

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

• $16-18/hour for HHA certificate or experience, based on interview.
• $16/hour for free training pathway.

Shift Lengths

• Shifts can be as short as 2-3 hours per visit.
• Some are 4-6 hours.
• Some are 8 hours.
• 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 look at — it’s part of the raise criteria.

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.

Raises

• Starting at $16/hour: → 90 days: $16.50 → 1 year: $17.00 → 2 years: $18.00
• If you start higher because of experience, your raises stack on top.

Extra Money

• $100 after 30 days with perfect attendance — every shift on time, zero call-offs.
• $300 when you refer a caregiver who stays — $100 when they hit 60 hours worked, $200 more at 200 hours.
• $75-$1,500 when you refer a private pay client, based on their hours.

Four Ways to Get Started

• Option 1: You’re an STNA (fastest) $18/hour. Active or expired license — both work.
• Option 2: You have an HHA certificate $16-18/hour based on interview. Certificate must be 30+ hours, signed by RN (unless completed online).
• Option 3: You have experience under a licensed nurse $16-18/hour based on interview. You need 1+ year at one company where your supervisor was an RN or LPN. No certificate needed.
• Option 4: You’re brand new — we train you free $16/hour. No experience needed. Just willingness to help people. We teach everything else.

Identity and Work Authorization

• Federal law requires us to verify your identity and work authorization.
• During your orientation video call, you’ll show your original documents on camera.
• You choose which documents to bring — we’ll send you the full list.
• MUST-HAVES:
• Driver’s license
• Your own car with insurance that covers work driving
• Pass background checks
• Work at least 20 hours/week
• Available between 6AM-8PM (most work is 8AM-5PM)
