$23.00/hour · Knoxville, TN
Hello my name is Rachel. I recently just moved to the Knoxville area from Sarasota Florida. I've been a caregiver for 8 years. I love being a caregiver and helping bring happiness to someone's life. I'm skilled in most everything non-medically related. I can help with transporting to Doctors, cooking, laundry, bathing, exercising, light house cleaning, companionship, I know how to use a Hoyer lift. Of course I can transfer with gaitbelt (as needed). I treat all my clients like family as that is how I got into doing this type of profession. I took care of my grandparents in hospital beds inside our living room for years up until their very last breath. I take that same type of compassion with me to every clients house I go to. I can't wait to meet you and hopefully we will be a great match.

$17.00/hour · Powell, TN
Hello, my name is Dezmere Gordon. I have a can-do attitude and a very positive outlook of myself. My goal has always been to have professionalism, empathy, competency, and communication skills to work with elder people. What attracted me to be a caregiver is knowing that I could have an impact on someone's life. I always wanted to put a smile on my residents' faces in everything I did for them and I wanted them to know I cared and they had me to count on. In 2019 I was honored with the ALZHEIMER'S ASSOCIATION CAREGIVERS AWARD at Manorhouse assistant Living and I was on the news. I also was on Brookdale Assistant Living Brochures and their Billboard and gave a testimony about being a good Lead caregiver and what our residents meant to me, in 2017. Being a caregiver fulfills my purpose in life.
