I'm Julia, a healthcare nutrition professional, well-versed in preparing a variety of foods from many different cultures. With 10 years of diverse culinary experience, I've prepared various North American, Italian, Mexican, European, Indian, Middle Eastern, vegetarian and vegan meals, providing variations for allergy and health needs. If you're seeking everyday nutrition-packed, personalized meals, I can confidently provide your needs. Besides cooking, I also provide skills needed to run a kitchen efficiently. Tasks like purchasing products, following a budget, washing dishes, menu planning, batch cooking, preparing baked goods, cooking children's meals, and table setting. Being a parent myself, I understand the importance of a balanced, nutritious diet for a growing child, while also providing something they will actually eat! Therefore, I am comfortable cooking children's meals in a healthy manner. Plus, I am capable of creating specialized menus tailored to your dietary preferences and needs. On a personal note, I am a non-smoker, with a driver's license and my own vehicle; so going out for kitchen supplies or helping with errands isn't a problem. My availability is flexible throughout the weekdays and also on weekends, both mornings and evenings. Listed as a full-time or part-time private/personal cook or a family cook, I'm searching for a job that allows me to live out, a setup that aligns well with my homely lifestyle. Rest assured that, as a culinary professional, I am always up-to-date on modern cooking technology and adhere strictly to sanitary and hygienic standards. My academic qualifications include a Food Handler’s Certification, amongst other credentials. Although I do not currently have a police check, I am willing to obtain one as per your requirements. Born and raised in Canada with Caribbean heritage, I am fluent in English. I look forward to the opportunity to create tasty meals and ensure a smoothly running kitchen for you and your family!
