Reliable former RN looking for flexible caregiving/domestic worke (Vancouver, WA) - (33)

Hi, my name is Courtney (she/her). I am looking for meaningful and flexible part time work in the Vancouver, WA community while I nurture and build up my private practice as a healing practitioner. My availability is flexible but will require week by week communication to accommodate my other work/commitments. Ideally, I'm available for 4 hour shifts during the day, assisting someone with caregiving/light domestic work who is in need (disabled, elderly, medical; I particularly enjoy working with elderly folks and clients/families at end of life). I am happy to do light housework/caregiving duties such as laundry, dishes, gardening, cooking, bathing/personal care, lend a listening ear, errands, taking care of pets, transportation, ambulation, travel companion (I have a valid passport and driver's license) and/or other discussed/agreed upon tasks. My asking rate is $30/hour. About me: I'm 47 years old in good physical health. I have been previously vaccinated for Covid, but I do not boost, if this is important to you. My background for 16 years was as an RN, mainly women's health and then hospice. I was burnt out and quit nursing voluntarily (my license was in good standing but is no longer active) just prior to Covid to pursue my own personal emotional healing and began exploring my current passion/career within the alternative healing realm. I do not drink, smoke or use drugs recreationally. I do occasionally utilize psychedelic medicines on my own personal time for therapeutic purposes. My car is reliable and I have insurance and a clean driving/criminal record. Transparency and honestly are very important to me; I can provide strong personal references if requested and am glad to talk about any of my previous caregiving jobs. I am spiritual but not religious (religion is fascinating and I'm certainly ok if you are as long as there is mutual respect/curiosity around it). Politics is a lost cause to me but I consider myself to be centrist and have the opinion that none of our current options are very good. While I certainly respect everyone's unique opinions around these controversial subjects (politics, religion) and choose not to actively/regularly engage, I do find it helps the working relationship to be somewhat in similar alignment, so that's why I mention it. In my free time I enjoy studying astrology and the metaphysical realm (Virgo sun, Leo moon, Aquarius rising, if that's of any interest), my many pets (2 dogs and 3 cats, if pet hair or dander is a problem/concern), reading self help, fiction and memoirs (I'm fascinated with the human psyche!), meditating, enjoying nature, walks, riding my bike, cooking (I know my way around the kitchen and the complaints are unfounded!), spending time with my grown daughter/friends/family, yoga, traveling (I went to France with my last client to help her on vacation), journaling/writing and networking/nurturing my burgeoning healing practice. What I'm looking for in a client and/or the family/coordinator of a client's care: That you are emotionally intelligent and relatively free of drama. I understand that life is messy and drama happens sometimes, but my other work can take up a lot of mental energy and I need any other work I do to be minimal in that realm. Good communication, a sense of humor, flexible of mind and schedule, willingness to pay cash for my services and self awareness are some other important aspects I am looking for. This list is obviously not exaustive, but if you think I may be a good fit for you or someone you are helping coordinate care for, please reach out for a conversation. Text or email is preferred for initial contact, to arrange a phone call for further information. Many Blessings, Courtney Ponsford 360-910-6493
