Caregiver - Part Time

Caregivers in Summit County, Ohio

Some jobs punish you for wanting fewer hours. Not this one. Here the floor is 20 hours a week and the ceiling is 40. You pick where you land in that range, and you can change it later. Want 20-25 hours to leave room for the rest of your life? Fine. Want to build up to 40? Also fine. You set your days and times at your phone interview, and we match clients to them.

No overnights. Ever. Hours run 6AM to 8PM, and most care is between 8AM and 5PM.

You help people in their homes. Mostly older adults. Baths, getting dressed, meals, light cleaning, errands, companionship. This is physical work — you're on your feet most of the day and you help people move around. If you need help doing these tasks, tell us. We can talk about what might work. You do not give medicine or do medical tasks.

That's for nurses.

STNA license: $18/hour - HHA certificate or experience: $16-18/hour based on interview - Free training pathway: $16/hour - A private pay client you referred: HHA $19/hour, STNA $20/hour 10% extra on holidays. Paid every 2 weeks. Direct deposit. W-2 job. Drive time between clients is paid. To your first client or from your last is not. Part time does not mean second-class here.

The raises are the same for everyone: three performance raises in your first 2 years — +$0.50 at 90 days, +$0.50 at 1 year, +$1.00 at 2 years. Miss one and it carries over.

- $100 after 30 days with perfect attendance.

- $300 when you refer a caregiver who stays — $100 at 60 hours, $200 more at 200 hours.

- $75-$1,500 when you refer a private pay client, based on their hours.

1. STNA (active or expired): $18/hour, 1-3 days, skip our test. 2. HHA certificate (30+ hours, RN-signed unless done online): $16-18/hour, 5-8 days.
3. Experience — 1+ year at one company under an RN or LPN: $16-18/hour, 5-8 days after we verify. 4. No experience — free 32-hour online training (6 days to finish, not paid): $16/hour, 1-2 weeks.

Maybe the company you worked for closed. Maybe there's no one left to call, or they only use a service like The Work Number. That's okay. You're not turned away. You can still join by taking our free online training to qualify. And because you already have a care background, your pay stays based on your interview ($16-18/hour), not the brand-new rate.

Only people with no experience at all start at $16. Every path: phone talk (20 min) → short online questionnaire → test if needed → sign paperwork online → online orientation + document check (30-40 min) → fingerprinting.

Ohio requires a written and skills test for HHAs — 80% on both parts. You take it in person at our Cuyahoga Falls office. We schedule the time with you. One thing we ask: our nurse drives to the office just for your test — nothing else. If you can't make it, text  BEFORE your test time. We'll reschedule you, no problem.

But if you just don't show up, our nurse waited for nothing. We take that seriously. STNAs skip the test — your license proves you passed. Already passed an HHA test with 80% or higher somewhere else? Show us your results and you skip it too.

Shifts can be as short as 2-3 hours per visit. Some are 4-6 hours. Some are 8. If a client needs help with a morning bath and breakfast, that's a 2-hour shift. To get to your 20+ hours a week, you'll usually have several clients across different days. So "part time" here usually looks like: 2-4 regular clients, same people every week, spread across the days you gave us.

You can pick up extra fill-in shifts any time you want more hours — or not.

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.

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.

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. Example:
We have 5 clients open today, but all 5 are…
