Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Bulls Gap
The Town of Bulls Gap was incorporated on November 1, 1955, runs under a general-law mayor-aldermanic charter with eight employees, and counted 768 residents as of July 2025 by Census Bureau estimate, a figure shared by the University of Tennessee's Municipal Technical Advisory Service. The ZIP area around it is far larger: the ACS 2020–2024 profile counts 5,644 people (±843) in ZIP Code Tabulation Area 37711, 18.9% of them 65 or older. Inside town limits the ACS puts the 65-plus share at 19.8%, with a margin of 7.5 points. So most potential clients with a Bulls Gap address live outside the town itself.
The town's own history page says Bulls Gap was settled in 1794 and named for John Bull, a gunsmith, and grew as a railroad junction on the line between Knoxville and Bristol. For work, look in several directions. Straight-line distances between ZIP centers, not road miles, are about 7 miles to Mohawk, 9 to Rogersville, 13 to Greeneville and 15 to Morristown. Mohawk and Greeneville are in Greene County, Morristown in Hamblen. A radius of 15 miles on your profile covers all four; add "elderly sitter" alongside "caregiver" so families searching either way find you.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Bulls Gap: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Kingsport–Bristol, TN–VA metro (Hawkins County is part of it); private rates on CaregiverConnect are agreed between each caregiver and family and are not tracked by any agency.
| Measure | Hourly | Source and coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Home health and personal care aides, Kingsport–Bristol, TN–VA metro (Hawkins County is part of it) | $14.31 median ($15.05 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 1,290 jobs; concentration 0.39× national |
| Tennessee home health and personal care aides, all 35,950 jobs, median | $15.45 | BLS OEWS, May 2025 |
| Federal (Tennessee has no state minimum) minimum wage | $7.25 | effective July 24, 2009 |
| Nursing assistants, Kingsport–Bristol, TN–VA metro (Hawkins County is part of it) | $18.05 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 (certified roles, for comparison) |
Who is the employer. A family that hires you directly is your employer. Tennessee has no state minimum wage law, so the federal minimum of $7.25 an hour is the legal floor, and federal overtime rules apply to directly employed caregivers unless the work is exempt companionship under the FLSA. Sources: US Department of Labor, state minimum wage laws; US Department of Labor, direct care workers.
BLS counts Hawkins County in the Kingsport–Bristol metro area with Sullivan County and three Virginia jurisdictions. There the May 2025 aide median was $14.31, $1.14 below Tennessee's, while nursing assistants in the same metro earned an $18.05 median, $3.74 more than aides. Families in Greene County sit in a different BLS area, where the aide median was $16.28; for a Bulls Gap caregiver willing to drive toward Mohawk or Greeneville, that is a useful reference point when you agree a private rate.
How the public numbers relate to private rates, and what affects them, is covered in the caregiver pay guide.
Rules
Caregiver requirements in Tennessee, applied to Bulls Gap
The federal $7.25 is the only minimum wage in Bulls Gap: the U.S. Department of Labor lists Tennessee as a state with no minimum wage law. Federal rules on domestic service cover many directly hired caregivers, including overtime unless the companionship or live-in exemption applies; the Department proposed changes to those rules in July 2025, so confirm what is in force. Agency work is another route: the First Tennessee Human Resource Agency, the homemaker provider for Adult Protective Services cases, publishes its Personal Support Service Agency license number. CNA certification lasts 24 months and is renewed by showing you worked at least eight hours in that time. The state's adult abuse line is 1-888-APS-TENN, open around the clock.

Questions
Caregiver jobs in Bulls Gap: frequently asked questions
How big is Bulls Gap, Tennessee?
About 768 people lived inside town limits in July 2025, the Census Bureau estimates. Its 37711 ZIP area is much larger, with about 5,600 people in the ACS 2020–2024 data, so many "Bulls Gap" addresses are outside town limits.
Why is aide pay lower in Hawkins County than in Greene County?
BLS measures them in different areas. Hawkins belongs to the Kingsport–Bristol metro, with a $14.31 aide median in May 2025; Greene is in the East Tennessee nonmetropolitan area at $16.28. Neither number fixes what a family pays you privately.
Who helps older adults in Hawkins County apply for TennCare CHOICES?
For anyone not yet enrolled in TennCare, the regional aging agency (FTAAAD) takes the first call on 866-836-6678. CHOICES covers people 65 or older and adults 21 or older with physical disabilities who meet the care and financial rules. Current TennCare members call their health plan.
Is there public transportation from Bulls Gap?
Yes, on demand rather than on a fixed route. NET Trans picks up anyone in the rural parts of Hawkins County at their door; vans run through the working day and on some Saturdays. Book by phone on (423) 461-8233 or through its app.
How do I keep a Tennessee CNA certificate active?
Certification runs for 24 months. To renew, you show you worked a minimum of eight hours during that period; since June 1, 2026 renewals go through Credentia, the Health Facilities Commission's registry vendor.
Is there a senior center in Bulls Gap?
Bulls Gap has none on the area agency's list. The designated Hawkins County centers are in Rogersville (423-272-9186) and Church Hill (423-357-5387); Meals on Wheels also uses the Mt. Carmel Senior Center as a meal site.
