Caregiver Jobs in Mohawk, TN

Mohawk has no town government and no entry of its own in the Census Bureau's 2020 list of Tennessee places, so the most local figures available are for ZIP Code Tabulation Area 37810, which covers Mohawk and the countryside that shares its ZIP code. The ACS 2020–2024 estimates for that ZIP area: 1,823 residents (margin ±554), of whom 25.3% are 65 or older (±8.5 points), compared with 22.1% across Greene County and 17.1% across Tennessee. The median household income is $32,917 (±$6,371) and the average commute is 32.1 minutes. The sample behind these numbers is small, so read them as a rough picture rather than a count.

Because Mohawk is small, the radius you set on your profile decides what you see. In straight-line (ZIP-centroid) miles, not road miles, Mohawk is about 7 miles from Bulls Gap, 10 from Morristown, 13 from Greeneville, 16 from Rogersville and 17 from Newport. A 15-mile radius takes in Bulls Gap, Morristown and Greeneville; widen it to 20 and Rogersville and Newport come in too. Many families in this part of Tennessee look for a "sitter" rather than a "caregiver", so use both words in your headline, say whether you have a car, and list the days and hours you can cover.

Tennessee has never passed a minimum wage law; the U.S. Department of Labor says employers covered by the Fair Labor Standards Act must pay the federal $7.25. Since January 1, 2015, the Department says, most direct care workers have been entitled to the federal minimum wage and overtime. A family may still be able to treat pure companionship as exempt from both, and a worker who lives in the household is exempt from overtime but not from the minimum wage; in July 2025 the Department proposed going back to its 1975 rules, so check the current position. Certified nursing assistants must finish a state-approved program and pass the competency exam within 24 months.
