If youre 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.
Client availability changes daily. Sometimes we have 5 clients ready immediately. If not were actively acquiring new clients and you can expect to get started within 1-2 weeks. Heres 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 - youll have good options
Morning-only or evening-only Limited but possible
After 4PM only You wont 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 isnt punishment - its math. We respect your boundaries completely but fewer clients will match.
During Your Phone Interview Well 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 (well ask if that works for you)
Were actively getting new clients daily but its 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 isnt structured for that. Can wait 1-3 weeks for the right match that respects your preferences Thats our specialty.
Fill-in shifts are always available because caregivers call off unexpectedly. When you take a fill-in shift two things can happen:
Its covering a call-off One-time shift
Its 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 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
One Path - Faster Than Standard HHA

Timeline: Working within 5-7 business days

No Growth Pathway: Were being honest - theres 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.

Assign mandatory overtime
Place you with smoking clients when you dont want smokers
Assign you to homes with pets despite allergies

The tradeoff: Respecting your preferences means fewer available client matches for you. Were upfront about this because its the honest reality.
