Pj’s Bio
Good afternoon:
I have care companion experience through Care.com when I first arrived in the Smoky Mountains in 2014 and served a family who's father had previously experienced a stroke. Mostly, I took him to appointments, social programs at the Center of Aging here in Sylva, and occasionally made him dinner when the adult children needed date night.
Now expired, I was at the time a Certified Nursing Assistant both in the state of North Carolina and Florida. Additionally, I cared for my in-laws over a sixteen year period. My father-in-law had a pathology known as Parkinson's, my mother-in-law dementia after experiencing a stroke. I have maintained my CPR / First Aid Credentials as I am an AHA BLS Instructor for Mission Health. Currently, I work for Western Carolina University with an exit date of July 31st. I am 62 and will be semi-retiring, thus I am seeking a supplement income of purpose! Additionally, I am a Therapeutic Licensed Massage Therapist and an Ordained Chaplain. As a Chaplain, I have worked both with Law Enforcement, and Hospice. (Yes, that very much seems like a bit of a conflict, and my degrees are in Natural Health and Holistic Theology which is actually a great fit; I live an interesting life.)
I was a vegetarian for six years, and then some so preparing vegetarian meals would not be a challenge for me. My husband and I do lots of gardening on our property, and actually love vegetables thereby we are constantly finding new ways to prepare them!
I live in the Greens Creek area, which is a short distance to Webster. And, of course I am most interested in learning more about this position.
If you would like, I can meet with you on the 6th of June. However, my calendar shows that date falls on Sunday and your posting says Wednesday. Either way, I'd be happy to meet to further discuss this opportunity further, or you are welcome to email or telephone me.
I am leaving my contact information below.
Sincerely,
PJ Marshall-Parker
