Hello! I'm Carmen, a seasoned cook with 9 years of experience based in Calgary. I specialize in a variety of cuisines, including Vegan, Vegetarian, Eastern European, Canadian, Mexican, Italian, and French. My expertise allows me to take orders from employers, create unique menus, supervise kitchen staff, and go grocery shopping, among other tasks. I have mastered the art of baking, preparing children's meals, cooking everyday and dietary meals, and even sushi preparation. I have a robust knowledge of sanitary and hygienic standards, plus I keep the kitchen spotless and organized. I'm also able to handle larger events, taking charge of food preparation and table setting. As of my availability, I am primarily available for work on Wednesdays throughout the morning and mid-day. I am seeking a full-time, live-out position, ideally as a family cook, private/personal cook, or dietary cook. I'm not a smoker, I hold a work permit and driver's license, I understand English and Spanish, and have a clean police record. I am a diligent, dedicated cook ready to bring delicious, wholesome meals to your family's table immediately. I look forward to creating a menu that suits the preferences and dietary needs of your household.

As a nanny I ussually helped my employers with cooking. Lately, 4 years from now, I have cooked seriously, more consistenly. My cooking is so delicious that my employers said I was a real chef. I cook any type of diet; Keto, vegeterian, WildFit, and I am proud that there is not any lack of flavour at all, the opposite, some cooks may have a very profesional technique, but the outcome, the flavour, is not a dream. I am proud that my cooking is a pleasure to have; my former employers can confirm. I also have taken pics of many of the dishes I have cooked, (my own recipes), so I have a portafolio I can show you

Nanny, House Manager
My name is Carmen Pereira. I am a Venezuelan Child Psychologist who has worked in Canada with upper-class families for 8 years. In my home country, apart from my clinical experience, I lead a team of specialist teachers whom I coordinate (among many other things, which appear on my CV). My Psychology background has also enabled me to manage and supervise a housekeeping team here in Canada. As House Manager I am always ahead of the needs of the family I work for; taking the initiative to improve the functioning of the house, is my signature. I arrived in Calgary in 2015 and have worked for 3 families during those years, and I am still in contact with the three of them. These families can give the best references of my abilities, work ethic, and dedication to being helpful and proactive. My current employers call me a chef because I have adapted my cooking to their many dietary limitations in a way that they don't even notice in their palatability. I must say everything I cook is delicious. I have met all the expectations of my employers and I am ready to work for another high-net-worth family. I am very exigent and demanding when it comes to cleaning, as everything needs to be spruced up; my latest employer says “I do everything with love”, and I believe that is very well put.

Please accept this letter of reference for Carmen J. Pereira. I have employed Mrs. Pereira for the past three and a half years. She is currently working for myself as a part time nanny. Mrs. Pereira has taken excellent care of my two daughters, as well as my household. What originally drew me to Carmen was her extensive work she had with children as a child psychologist. Mrs. Pereira is an extremely loyal employee and she has no problem following instruction. She is very trustworthy and very flexible with her scheduling. I would have no hesitation hiring Carmen again. Yours truly, Kerri R

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to recommend Carmen Pereira for any future employment opportunities enthusiastically. Carmen worked for me for two years and was a fantastic employee in every way. During her time with us, Carmen consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, reliability, and a deep sense of responsibility. She worked diligently and efficiently, always going above and beyond what was expected. She brought positivity and dedication to everything she did, whether it was cooking, cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, or driving the kids around. Carmen was an integral part of our household and family life, and we came to rely on her not just as an employee but also as a trusted friend. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and willingness to take on new challenges were exceptional. Unfortunately, I had to let Carmen go due to changing circumstances in my family. However, I highly recommend her for any future employment opportunities. She is a hardworking, dedicated, and reliable individual who would make a valuable addition to any team or family. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require further information. Sincerely, Jennifer S
