Light cleaning. Running errands. Keeping them company. Most of your clients are older adults who need a hand staying independent.This is physical work. You help people move around. You're on your feet most of the day. If you need help doing these tasks, tell us. We can talk about what might work.You do NOT give medicine or handle medical tasks. That's for nurses.Most Home Health Aides work with 2-4 regular clients — the same people every week. You build real relationships. One caregiver has been here 18 years.22 CITIES ACROSS TWO COUNTIESSTARK COUNTY: Alliance, Brewster, Canton, Dalton, Massillon, Navarre, North Canton, ParisSUMMIT COUNTY: Akron, Barberton, Copley, Cuyahoga Falls, Hartville, Hudson, Kent, New Franklin, Norton, Rootstown, Silver Lake, Stow, Tallmadge, UniontownHere's what you need to know: Most of our clients are in Summit County (Akron area). We're growing in Stark County but have fewer clients there right now.What this means for you: Open to BOTH counties = Faster start, more hours available Stark County only = Longer wait for your first clientWe'll ask your preference in the application. We match based on how far you'll travel, not just county lines.YOU CHOOSE YOUR LIMITSDuring your phone interview, you tell us: pets, smoking, travel distance, days and times you're available. We only assign clients that match what YOU said. Period.The tradeoff is simple. The more flexible you are, the faster you start. The more strict your limits, the longer you may wait.We might have 5 clients today. But if none match your limits, for you there are zero. You decide how fast this goes.What that looks like: Open to most things → Could begin with 20-40 hours right away Strict limits → May wait 1-2 weeks for a matching client Open but no matches today → You're first in line for the next oneYour first 2 weeks, we test reliability with fill-in shifts. But if a permanent client matches you immediately, we assign them immediately.After that, your regulars are yours. Want more hours? Pick up extra fill-in shifts anytime.Want to change your limits later? Just let us know.What This Job PaysSTNA license: $18/hourHHA certificate or experience: $16-18/hour based on interviewFree training pathway: $16/hourCaring for a private pay client you referred: HHA: $19/hour STNA: $20/hour10% extra on holidays.Paid every 2 weeks.
