ABOUT THE TEST

Ohio requires all home health aides to pass a test. This isn't our rule — it's the state's rule. The test has two parts: Written questions. Skills you show. You need 80% on both parts. The test is given in person at our office. We'll schedule a time with you. Already passed this test somewhere else? Show us your results. If you got 80% or higher, you skip the test.

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)

Legal right to work in the US

Must be at least 18 years old

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 tradeoff: The more flexible you are, the faster you start. The more restrictive, the longer you wait.

We might have 5 clients available today. But if none match your limits, for you there are zero. This is YOUR timeline to control.

Three scenarios:

- You're open to most things → Could start with 20-40 hours immediately

- You have strict limits → May wait 1-2 weeks for a matching client

- You're open but we have no matches today → You're first in line for the next one

During your first 2 weeks, we gauge reliability with fill-in shifts. But if permanent clients match you right away, we assign them right away.

After that, you have your regular clients — same people every week. Most caregivers have 2-4 regulars. You can still pick up extra fill-ins if you want more hours.

WHAT WE DON'T HAVE

No PTO — time off is unpaid, give us 1 month notice

No 401k

No health insurance

No career ladder — this stays a caregiving job

What grows: your client relationships and your paycheck through bonuses and referrals. One caregiver has been here 18 years. If you want to change your limits later, just let us know.

WHERE WE NEED HELP

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. Say you can do 30 minutes, we may assign clients anywhere in that range.
