Yrs Experience

Born in Calgary, but spent 15 years in British Columbia. I have a 15-year-old sweet dog that I brought back from Mexico when he was a puppy. I have spent many months traveling throughout the years to places like Ecuador, Mexico, and Spain, with trips to The United States as well. The age ranges of the children among the families I work with are from 5-17. They all love the food, especially the baking. The kids also get to pick and suggest parent-approved dinner options, and I put them into the menu plan for the following week.

Housekeeper and meal prep chef for families in Calgary always looking for more work. Any allergies or dietary needs accommodated as well as the ability to cook a wide range of regional cuisines. I have catered the smallest of intimate dinner parties all the way to feeding over 500 people at a time. Before the past years of working with families, my experience comes through years of working in casual fine dining restaurants, Heli ski operations, logging and other camp operations, as well as the catering department in the TV and film industry, B&B operations and menu development for a group home for young autistic boys. Rates start at $35/h for meal prep with a 3 hr minimum, then increase from there for fully catered events.
