Caregiver - School-Hour Shifts

About the role

Haven Home Care is hiring caregivers in Summit County, Ohio. We offer flexible daytime work options, typically between 8AM and 5PM, with some shifts running 2-6 hours in the middle of the day. We match clients to your preferred window, ensuring a personalized schedule.

Responsibilities

You help people in their homes, assisting with baths, dressing, meals, light cleaning, errands, and companionship. This is physical work, requiring you to be on your feet most of the day and assist with moving around. If you need help performing these tasks, let us know. We can discuss what might work best for you.

You do not give medicine or perform medical tasks. Those responsibilities are handled by nurses.

Client Matching

We match clients to your limits during your phone interview, including pets, smoking, travel distance, days, and times. We only assign clients that match your limits.

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

Shift Lengths

Shifts can be as short as 2-3 hours per visit, some are 4-6 hours, and some are 8 hours. To reach 20+ hours a week, you'll usually have several clients across different days.

"Flexible" means the days and times you told us you can work. It 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. A sick child at home is real life, and that's what our call-off steps are for. We work with you to manage unexpected situations.

What You Need

• Driver's license
• Your own car with insurance that covers work driving
• Pass background checks
• Available between 6AM-8PM (you set your window inside that)
• Legal right to work in the US
• Must be at least 18 years old
• No PTO, no 401k, no health insurance

About The Test

Ohio requires a written and skills test for HHAs, which must be achieved with an 80% score. You take it in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office, and we schedule the time with you. If you can't make it, text (330) 400-3423 before your test time. If you don't show up, our nurse waits for nothing.
