I have always loved family and home life. I pride myself on my home, marriage, and our two beautiful, now-grown children. My husband and I are now empty nesters with only a sweet cat to keep us company. I am very friendly, kind, flexible, sensible, and have a good sense of humor. Growing up as a farm child, I found that my sense of humor and flexibility came in handy. I love to read, travel, hike, craft, and cook. I have had a lovely career teaching English, childbirth education, and supporting families through pregnancy and labor. Now, as I enter into semi-retirement, I am looking for enjoyable work within a family unit for 2-3 days a week. I have plenty of experience working with children, seniors, and families, and I would love to provide support locally. I am located in Bon Accord and am looking for work in Sturgeon County or St. Albert. I've been a dedicated domestic goddess, keeper of the home, mother, chief cook, and bottle washer for a bit more than 25 years. I learned to cook and keep house from age 13 onward, and it has always come naturally to me. I have held many positions in my career life but am now just looking for 2-3 days per week in my semi-retirement to share my skills.

In my previous professional experience, I have dedicatedly worked in the capacity of a professional cook at a care home situated in my local area. As part of my duties there, I was responsible for the preparation of meals for the residents staying in the care home. These duties were not taken lightly but rather, each meal was meticulously prepared with scrupulous attention to each resident's specific dietary requirements, ensuring that every meal served aligned with individual needs and promoted their well-being. In addition to meal preparation, I was in charge of setting tables for the residents in a professional and aesthetically pleasing manner, creating a welcoming environment for each meal time. Furthermore, I took it upon myself to maintain the cleanliness of the kitchen area consistently. This endeavor was not just limited to surface-level tidiness but it was conducted in strict accordance with the guidelines and regulations laid down by the local Board of Health. This ensured that the kitchen not only appeared clean but was, in fact, a hygienic cooking space that met all the necessary standards. Beyond the scope of my professional role, I have also utilized my cooking skills to prepare meals for my family. I take great pride in their satisfaction and can happily say that the meals are often well received and loved by my family members. This has helped me to refine my culinary expertise in a more informal setting, which later adds to my professionalism and creativity in a formal workspace like the care home. In addition to this, I have also had the opportunity to put my culinary skills to test in more bustling environments such as a catering setting. I have served in this capacity at various social events, including weddings and anniversaries. This has not only allowed me to work under pressure and large scale food production but also provided me with the requisite exposure to a wide array of food preferences, broadening my versatility as a professional cook. I have worked as a cook for elderly residents in my local care home for 3 years. I prepare their meals according to their dietary needs, keep the place spotless, and put away groceries. I have also cooked supper for my mom multiple times, which my family loves. Additionally, I bake a lot at the care home, and everyone complements me on my baking.
