Helping Hearts USA LLC Nashville, TN 37214, US

NOW HIRING: EXPERIENCED PRIVATE DUTY CAREGIVER

36 Consistent Hours Weekly | Tuesday, Thursday & Sunday | 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM | STARTS ASAP Location: Brentwood, Tennessee, 37027

Helping Hearts USA LLC is seeking an experienced, dependable, professional, upbeat, and highly engaging caregiver for a consistent one on one private duty assignment.

This position is ideal for a caregiver who genuinely enjoys building relationships with clients and wants a stable 36 hour weekly schedule with one consistent client.

We are looking for someone who brings positive energy into every shift. The right caregiver will be conversational, attentive, observant, patient, compassionate, safety focused, and comfortable remaining actively engaged throughout a full 12 hour day.

This is not an assignment for someone who simply wants to complete a few tasks and remain disengaged for the rest of the shift. We need a caregiver who takes appropriate initiative, enjoys companionship, encourages the client’s normal daily routine, and understands that excellent caregiving involves both hands on support and meaningful engagement.

REQUIRED WEEKLY SCHEDULE

Tuesday: 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Thursday: 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Sunday: 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM

36 scheduled hours every week

Immediate start

The selected caregiver must be able to consistently work ALL THREE DAYS every week.

This assignment is being staffed specifically for continuity of care. We are not looking to divide these three days among multiple applicants at this time.

Please do not apply for this particular opening if you cannot commit to Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM.

ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENT

This is a consistent one on one private duty assignment for a client who benefits from an attentive, energetic, professional caregiver who understands safety, companionship, personal care, and maintaining a positive daily routine.

The caregiver must be comfortable providing close supervision when needed, particularly during mobility and bathroom related activities, and must understand the importance of fall prevention, observation, and timely communication of changes or concerns.

The successful caregiver will encourage independence whenever it can be done safely while providing appropriate assistance according to the client’s established care plan.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The selected caregiver must be comfortable performing the following duties as authorized by the client’s care plan and Helping Hearts policy:

Companionship and Active Engagement
Remain genuinely engaged with the client throughout the shift through conversation, appropriate activities, encouragement, social interaction, and participation in the client’s normal daily routine. Engagement means interacting with the client rather than simply being physically present in the room.
Personal Care Assistance
Provide respectful assistance with activities of daily living while maintaining the client’s privacy, dignity, comfort, and independence. This may include bathing, showering, grooming, oral hygiene, dressing, toileting, hygiene assistance, and incontinence care when required.
Bathing and Shower Assistance
Help prepare for and safely complete bathing or showering. Remain attentive to balance, weakness, dizziness, slipping hazards, and fall prevention throughout personal care activities.
Dressing and Grooming
Assist with clothing, shoes, fasteners, hair care, oral hygiene, and other routine grooming needs while encouraging the client to safely participate as much as possible.
Toileting and Bathroom Assistance
Provide safe assistance to and from the bathroom, help with clothing management and hygiene, and remain available when the client requires supervision or assistance. Bathroom safety is an important part of this assignment.
Mobility and Ambulation Assistance
Provide the level of walking or mobility assistance identified in the client’s care plan. This may include standby assistance, walking beside the client, and assisting with approved mobility equipment.
Transfer Assistance
Assist with approved transfers within the caregiver’s training and according to the client’s care plan. Proper body mechanics and safety procedures must always be followed. Caregivers must never attempt a transfer that cannot be completed safely.
Fall Prevention and Safety Monitoring
Maintain awareness of the client’s environment, walking surfaces, mobility, balance, footwear, and potential hazards. Keep pathways clear and promptly report falls, near falls, sudden weakness, dizziness, or meaningful changes in mobility.
Meal and Snack Preparation
Prepare appropriate meals and snacks according to the client’s preferences and care instructions. Assist with meal setup, encourage appropriate intake, clean the kitchen area after use, and observe for significant changes in appetite.
Hydration Support
Offer and encourage appropriate fluids throughout the shift and report meaningful changes in the client’s normal fluid intake.
Medication Reminders
Provide medication reminders only as permitted by Helping Hearts policy and the client’s care plan. Caregivers do not independently change medication dosages, make medication decisions, or perform duties outside their authorized role.
Daily Routine Support
Help maintain a consistent and positive daily routine involving personal care, meals, hydration, activity, companionship, movement, and appropriate rest.
Activities and Socialization
Encourage activities appropriate to the client’s interests and abilities. This may include conversation, games, reading, music, television programs, appropriate movement, or participation in approved activities.
Light Housekeeping
Maintain a clean and safe client environment. Duties may include cleaning up after meals, washing dishes, wiping counters, straightening the client’s living area, keeping the bathroom tidy, removing trash, making the bed, and maintaining clear walking pathways.
Client Laundry and Linens
Complete client related laundry when needed, including washing, drying, folding, putting away clothing and linens, and changing bed linens as appropriate.
Environmental Safety
Observe for spills, clutter, blocked pathways, unsafe furniture placement, misplaced equipment, or other hazards that could increase the client’s risk of injury.
Observation of Changes in Condition
Remain highly observant throughout the shift. Report significant changes involving mobility, balance, weakness, dizziness, alertness, behavior, appetite, hydration, bathroom habits, communication, energy level, or overall condition.

Caregivers are not expected to diagnose medical conditions. They are expected to observe, document, and promptly report meaningful changes from the client’s normal baseline.

Incident and Safety Reporting
Immediately notify Helping Hearts Operations of significant concerns such as falls, near falls, sudden weakness, significant changes in condition, refusal of important care, safety concerns, or other reportable incidents.
WellSky Documentation
Complete all required documentation accurately and timely through WellSky Personal Care. Documentation must clearly reflect care provided, observations, client status, activities completed, and relevant concerns.
Communication With Operations
Maintain clear, timely, and professional communication with Helping Hearts Operations. When an update is requested, caregivers must provide a meaningful written response rather than a one word answer.
Professional Boundaries
Maintain appropriate boundaries with the client and family. Scheduling, pay, additional hours, time off, and employment related matters must be handled through Helping Hearts Operations.
Shift Handoff
Provide an appropriate handoff to an incoming caregiver when applicable, including relevant observations, safety concerns, changes in routine, and unfinished care needs.
Full Shift Commitment
Remain for the complete scheduled 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM shift unless released by Helping Hearts Operations.
Emergency Response
Remain calm, protect the client from additional harm, contact emergency services when appropriate, follow Helping Hearts emergency procedures, and notify Operations promptly.

REQUIRED SKILLS

The strongest candidate will have demonstrated experience with personal care, bathing assistance, toileting support, safe mobility assistance, fall prevention, client supervision, meal preparation, hydration encouragement, companionship, recognizing changes from baseline, professional documentation, and communicating concerns appropriately.

We also need someone with strong situational awareness and judgment. You should know when to provide assistance, when to encourage independence, when something does not appear normal, and when it is time to immediately contact Operations.

THE PERSONALITY WE NEED

Clinical skills and caregiving experience matter, but personality matters for this assignment too.

We are looking for someone who is upbeat without being overwhelming, confident without being controlling, compassionate while maintaining professional boundaries, observant without being intrusive, patient, conversational, encouraging, and naturally engaging.

The ideal caregiver does not need to be reminded repeatedly to interact with the client or find appropriate ways to keep the day positive and productive.

We need someone who walks into the assignment ready to make a positive difference.

RELIABILITY IS ESSENTIAL

Continuity of care is extremely important.

The client, family, and agency need to be able to depend on the selected caregiver every:

Tuesday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Thursday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Sunday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM

Applicants with repeated availability conflicts, frequent call outs, ongoing schedule change requests, or an inability to consistently arrive for a 7:00 AM start will not be the right fit for this assignment.

AWAKE AND ENGAGED SHIFT

This is an awake, active, and engaged caregiving assignment.

Sleeping while on shift is strictly prohibited.

The caregiver must remain awake, alert, responsive, attentive, and available to the client throughout the entire scheduled shift.

Personal phone use must remain limited and may never interfere with client care, safety, supervision, companionship, communication, or documentation.

PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE

Helping Hearts caregivers represent our agency every time they enter a client’s environment.

Navy scrubs are required.

Professional closed toe footwear is required.

Crocs are not permitted.

Caregivers are expected to maintain a clean, neat, and professional appearance throughout the assignment.

QUALIFICATIONS

Previous professional caregiving experience is strongly preferred, particularly experience providing one on one care to older adults or clients requiring mobility and fall prevention support.

Experience as a Caregiver, CNA, Home Health Aide, Personal Care Assistant, Direct Support Professional, or similar direct care professional is preferred.

Applicants must have dependable transportation and be able to consistently arrive on time for a 7:00 AM start.

Candidates must be comfortable using a smartphone for electronic documentation and agency communication.

Applicants must successfully complete Helping Hearts’ required onboarding process, applicable criminal background screening, registry checks, and required training.

Current CPR and First Aid certification is strongly preferred.

Candidates must be physically capable of safely performing the duties required by the assignment within their training and the client’s established care plan.
