Why STNAs Choose Haven:

• 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).

• 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.

Ongoing: Fill-in opportunities are available (because call-offs happen)

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.

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:

• 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.

• "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:

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

Week-by-Week Reality

• 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

• 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)

• 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

• 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

• 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

• 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.

Client Types You'll Serve

• Primarily elderly clients needing assistance with daily living
• Some disabled clients requiring personal care support
• Post-surgical or rehabilitation clients needing temporary assistance

• Clients with mild cognitive decline needing companionship and safety

You will NOT: Administer medications, perform wound care, or handle complex medical procedures
