If you need help doing these things, tell us. We can talk about what might work. You do NOT give medicine. You do NOT do medical stuff. That's for nurses. How You Get Clients There are three ways you get work with us: Way 1: We assign you a permanent client We have clients who need a caregiver on a regular schedule. If one matches your limits, we assign them to you. This can happen right after you finish hiring. You don't have to wait. Way 2: Fill-in shifts A client's regular caregiver called off sick. We need someone to cover. Our care coordination team texts and calls you daily with these chances. You can say yes or no. Way 3: You bring us a client You refer someone who needs care. They sign up with us. You work with them. You get bonuses plus you care for someone you already know. How Client Matching Really Works Two things control how fast you start working. Both are in your control. Thing 1: How fast you finish the steps. Every step you delay pushes back your start date. Every step you finish fast moves it up. If you wait 3 days to send your papers, you start 3 days later. If you wait a week, you start a week later. Simple math. About the test: You can take it online. You need a laptop with a camera and microphone. This means you don't have to wait for our nurse's in-person schedule. Online is faster. Thing 2: How open your limits are. You tell us your limits. Pets, smoking, how far you'll drive, what days and times you can work. These limits decide which clients we can give you. What We Tell You in Your Phone Interview We don't guess. We tell you exactly where things stand. "We have clients ready NOW that match your limits" → Finish hiring fast, work fast "We have fill-in shifts available" → Start earning right away while we find your regular clients "No matches for your limits right now" → You'll wait until we get one (could be days, could be 1-2 weeks) Your First 2 Weeks During your first 2 weeks, we gauge your reliability. We may ask you to take fill-in shifts if they match your limits. But if we have permanent clients available that match you, we assign them right away. Permanent assignments come first. After we see you're reliable, you settle into your regular schedule. After Your First 2 Weeks You have your own clients. Same people every week. Most caregivers have 2-4 regular clients. You can still pick up extra fill-in shifts if you want more hours. Our care coordination team reaches out daily with chances. When You Can Work 6AM-8PM available? You get first pick of everything. 8AM-5PM available? Good news. This is when 80% of clients need help. Mornings only? Evenings only? Harder, but possible. Only after 4PM? You probably can't hit 20 hours. Most clients need daytime help. The Three Pathways - Full Details Way 1: You Have a Certificate What you need: A valid HHA certificate. 30 hours or more.
