The Area

Working in Clinton County

Wilmington, Blanchester, Sabina and the villages between Cincinnati and Columbus.

Clinton is small, and that is exactly why it matters. The larger agencies do not bother staffing out here properly, so a DSP who actually lives locally is close to irreplaceable and we treat the relationship that way.

Getting around. I-71, US-22, US-68 and SR-73 cross here. Wilmington to Lebanon is half an hour, to Hillsboro about the same. It is rural, and the drives are the pleasant kind rather than the sitting in traffic kind.

Towns we cover here: Wilmington, Blanchester, Sabina, New Vienna, Martinsville and Clarksville.

Community Time

Where the work actually happens in Clinton County

A good part of this job is getting somebody out of the house and into their own community. Knowing the area is a real advantage, and if you already know these places you are ahead before you start. In Clinton County that regularly means:

  • Cowan Lake State Park, which is the centre of a lot of summer plans locally
  • Denver Williams Park in Wilmington
  • The Wilmington College campus and its events
  • Downtown Wilmington, small and genuinely walkable
  • The Clinton County Historical Society
  • The county fairgrounds in July

Plus the ordinary things that matter just as much. The grocery run, the barber, the pharmacy, the appointment somebody was dreading. You are not an activities coordinator. You are the person who makes an ordinary week possible.

Straight Talk

Why Clinton County specifically

Rural counties are where a small agency wins and a big one cannot be bothered. If you are local, tell us.

Referrals here come to us through Clinton County Board of Developmental Disabilities and the statewide system. We do not control when a case appears. What we do control is whether we already have somebody local, cleared and ready when it does, which is the entire reason this page exists.

Why Nirvana

Why people come to us, and why they stay

We pay well, and we say the number. $17 to $20 an hour depending on your experience, your certifications and the county. We would far rather pay properly and keep somebody for years than churn through people the way much of this industry does. A medication certification moves you up the range and opens the better paid placements.

We communicate. You will not be left guessing about your schedule, your hours or your pay. Email or text us and you get a real answer from a real person, quickly. Anyone who has worked somewhere that goes quiet on them knows what that is worth.

  • A retention bonus at ninety days, with benefits available at the same point including a 401k
  • Mileage paid when you are transporting the person you support
  • One to one placements only, never a floor full of people
  • We work around your availability where we can, including school hours and weekend only schedules
What We Look For

Requirements

  • DODD eight hour orientation certificate, or willingness to complete it
  • Current CPR and First Aid certification
  • Valid driver's license, a reliable vehicle and current auto insurance
  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Social Security card, for I-9 verification
  • Experience as a DSP, STNA, HHA, caregiver, home health aide or personal care aide is welcome. We also train the right person
