Haven Home Care | $18/Hour + Paid Travel Between Clients - Hired in 24 Hours Your STNA License Opens Doors Here - Start Earning This Week Haven Home Care has been the trusted choice for families across Ohio since 1998, and we know that STNAs are the backbone of quality home care. Whether you're a brand-new STNA still celebrating passing your state test, or an experienced professional looking for an agency that actually respects your preferences, we want you on our team. Apply with your STNA number today, and you could be earning $18/hour within a week.

Why STNAs Choose Haven:

We respect your preferences

- No forced overtime, no clients outside your comfort zone (pets, smoking, location). Other agencies make you work wherever. We don't. You choose your boundaries, and we match you accordingly.

Paid travel time

at $18/hour between clients (rare in home care)

Same clients every week

- Build real relationships with 2-4 regular clients after your initial 2-week orientation period

Work independently

- Your main support is our care coordination team, available whenever you need guidance or have concerns

Flexible scheduling

- 20-40 hours between 6AM-8PM (most care happens 8AM-5PM, no overnight shifts)

Open communication culture

- Concerns about a client? Tell us immediately. We'd rather fix the match than lose you.

One Path, Three Starting Points - All STNAs Welcome The Requirement:

Active Ohio STNA License

You'll be doing the same meaningful work as our Home Health Aides - helping elderly and disabled clients with daily living, building lasting relationships, working independently. The difference? Your STNA license qualifies you for higher pay ($18/hour) and faster hiring (no written/skills test required since you're already state-tested).

Where Are You Starting From?

New STNA - Just Passed Your State Test?

Congratulations! We love working with newly licensed STNAs. You bring fresh training and your state certification, and we'll provide the real-world home care experience. Many agencies want "experienced only" - we don't. Your active STNA license is all we need.

Experienced STNA - Ready for Better?

Tired of agencies that don't respect your preferences? Sick of mandatory overtime and constantly rotating schedules? You've earned the right to choose your boundaries. Bring your experience and we'll match you with clients who fit your life.

Returning STNA - Coming Back to Care?

Took time off and ready to return? Whether you've been away for months or years, as long as your Ohio STNA license is active and current, you're welcome here. We'll ease you back in with the support you need.

Active STNA license + desire to care for others = Start earning $18/hour this week

Honest Talk About Our Company We're a small business established in 1998. This means

no PTO, 401k, or health insurance . What we DO offer: complete schedule control, long-term client relationships (one aide has been with us 18 years), respect for your preferences, and a cap at 40 hours weekly to protect your work-life balance.

Want to Know Everything Before You Apply? If you're the type who wants complete transparency about how client matching works, what the week-by-week experience looks like, and every detail of the process - keep reading below.

The Complete Picture: How Haven Really Works Understanding Client Matching (The Full Truth) Client availability changes daily. Sometimes we have 5 clients ready immediately. If not, we're actively acquiring new clients and you can expect to get started within 1-2 weeks. Here's what determines your timeline:

Your Availability Matters:

6AM-8PM availability?

First pick of everything

8AM-5PM availability?

This is where 80% of care hours exist - you'll have good options

Morning-only or evening-only?

Limited but possible

After 4PM only?

You won't hit the 20-hour minimum (most clients need daytime care)

Your Preferences Impact Speed:

The more specific your requirements (no pets, no smoking, limited drive radius, specific days only), the longer matching takes. This isn't punishment - it's math. We respect your boundaries completely, but fewer clients will match.

During Your Phone Interview, We'll Tell You:

"We have clients ready NOW" → Finish hiring fast, work fast

"Fill-in shifts available" → Start earning immediately while we match you permanently

"No current matches yet" → 1-2 week wait while we acquire new clients (we'll ask if that works for you)

Why Delays Happen (The Reality) We're actively getting new clients daily, but it's not instant:

Clients need assessments

Insurance requires approval

Families need coordination meetings

Sometimes clients delay their own start dates

Bottom line:

More flexibility = faster placement. Need guaranteed immediate hours? This role isn't structured for that. Can wait 1-3 weeks for the right match that respects your preferences? That's our specialty.

How "Fill-In" Work Becomes Permanent Fill-in shifts are always available because caregivers call off unexpectedly. When you take a fill-in shift, two things can happen:

It's covering a call-off

→ One-time shift

It's an unstaffed visit slot

→ If the dynamic works between you and the client, that time slot becomes yours permanently

This is how you can build your permanent schedule faster during your first 2 weeks.

Week-by-Week Reality Week 1-2: Orientation Period

Fill-in assignments at $18/hour

Must be flexible with locations and times during this period

Keep any clients where the match works and becomes permanent

Build toward your target weekly hours

Week 3+: Your Regular Schedule

Permanent clients matched to your confirmed preferences

Consistent weekly schedule

Still available for additional fill-in shifts if desired

Day 30: $100 Bonus

Hits your account if you maintained perfect attendance and punctuality during your first 30 days

Your STNA Hiring Process

(Detailed) One Path - Faster Than Standard HHA

You have:

Active Ohio STNA License (current and not expired)

Timeline:

Working within 5-7 business days

Why it's faster:

Your STNA license means you've already passed state testing. Unlike our HHA applicants, you skip the written and skills assessment entirely. This cuts days off the hiring process.

Process:

Submit application with your STNA license number, issue date, and expiration date → Phone screen → Database checks → Decision → Hired

Support After You're Hired Our Care Coordination Team is your main support system:

Call them with ANY questions about clients, schedules, or concerns

They're available during business hours and for urgent matters

Open-door policy - we want to hear feedback, concerns, or problems

Client Match Not Working?

Tell us immediately. We respect that sometimes personalities don't mesh, unexpected issues arise, or preferences change. We'd rather reassign you than lose you. Be completely open with our care coordination team.

No Growth Pathway:

We're being honest - there's no ladder to climb here. This is a caregiving role, and it stays a caregiving role. What grows is your relationships with clients and your weekly paycheck through referral bonuses.

What Makes Haven Different from Other Agencies Other agencies:

Force you to drive outside your preferred range

Assign mandatory overtime

Place you with smoking clients when you don't want smokers

Assign you to homes with pets despite allergies

Constantly rotate your schedule

Haven:

Respects your geographic boundaries

No mandatory overtime (40-hour max)

Won't assign you to clients who smoke if you don't want smokers

Won't assign you to homes with pets if you're allergic or uncomfortable

Same clients every week after matching

The tradeoff:

Respecting your preferences means fewer available client matches for you. We're upfront about this because it's the honest reality.
