Former RN offering daytime caregiving services in Vancouver, WA (Vancouver, WA) - (31)

Are you an aging person that needs assistance being independent in your home with cleaning, organizing or cooking meals? A family member needing some respite from caregiving? A tired/overwhelmed new mom that needs support around the house or caring for baby so you can take a nap or attend to self care? Are you looking for someone trustworthy, life experienced, self directed and reliable to help out around the house a few hours a week? Hi, my name is Courtney (she/her). I’m a former RN who is offering services for daytime help in the Vancouver, Washington 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. I'm available for 4 hour shifts during the day, assisting someone with caregiving/light domestic work who is in need (disabled, elderly, medical, new moms). I particularly enjoy working with babies/new moms, 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 supportive listening ear, errands, taking care of pets or small babies, transportation, ambulation, travel companion (I have a valid passport and driver's license) and/or other discussed/agreed upon household 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 I quit nursing voluntarily (my license was in good standing but is no longer active) just prior to Covid to pursue my own personal healing and explore my current passion/career within the alternative holistic healing realm. I do not drink, smoke or use drugs recreationally. I occasionally utilize psychedelic medicines for therapeutic purposes on my own personal time. My car is reliable, insured and a I have a clean driving/criminal record. Transparency and honestly are very important to me; I can provide strong personal/professional references and am glad to share otherwise about myself if requested. In my free time I enjoy studying astrology and the metaphysical realm, 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, gardening, 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 a former 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, self aware, a good communicator, have a sense of humor, flexible of mind and schedule and willing to pay cash for my services. 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. PLEASE NOTE, I am not a masseuse, nanny/babysitter for older children or offering any kind of sexual services or role playing. I prefer to serve my community only within the immediate Vancouver, Washington area. PLEASE don't message me outside of this. Many Blessings to you and yours, Courtney Ponsford 360-910-6493
