How Client Matching Works
You tell us your limits during your phone interview: pets, smoking, travel distance, days and times. We only assign clients that match YOUR limits. 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.
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. Fewer hours doesn't mean lower stakes — your 20 hours matter as much to your clients as anyone's 40. Attendance is part of the raise criteria. Don't be the reason a client leaves Haven.
