I’m a 29 y.o. from Ukraine with 10 years of experience in hospitality and a true love for cooking. I arrived to Canada in 2022 and have been working as a personal chef and housekeeper for a lovely elderly couple in White Rock. Their family and I have built a great relationship, and I’m happy to provide a great reference. I’m passionate about creating delicious meals, I have good innate sense of balancing flavours and keeping homes clean and cozy. I’m now looking for a long-term position with a kind family or individual in the Burnaby or Vancouver area. I don’t drive, so I’d prefer somewhere accessible by public transit. I don’t have my family here so I’d love the chance to get to know you and build strong and secure relationship together and make positive vibes! 10 years of experience in hospitality. 2 years in position of personal chef and housekeeper.
