About Kimberly

I have been a nurse for over 25 yrs and absolutely love being a caregiver. I have experience with patients from all age ranges and have managed many different medical conditions in various healthcare settings. My most enjoyment and satisfaction of being a caregiver comes from being able to spend time with my patients not only to just administer a medication, or perform a treatment, but to truly get to know my patient as a whole person. If there is something I can do to improve my patient's quality of life, or make things a bit easier for them, or bring a smile to their face, then that is what I want to do.

My father was a pastor and I was with him visiting sick and shut -ins. I serviced two care facilities, meeting with the patients. I cleaned houses for the elderly for 30 years including dementia and other age related illnesses. Both my parents have had multiple operations and I was their care giver.

$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 10 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.
