I’m a 30 y.o. from Ukraine with 10 years of experience in hospitality and a true love for cooking. I arrived to Canada in 2022 and since then I've worked as a personal chef and housekeeper for 2 lovely elderly couple in White Rock and Burnaby. 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. Now I am 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. My family is pretty far 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. 3 years in position of personal chef and housekeeper.

I’m a Brazilian chef with a lifelong passion for cooking. Growing up in a family that has owned restaurants for over 40 years, the kitchen has always been my second home. I earned my Culinary Arts degree in Brazil in 2017 and have since worked with a wide range of cuisines and dining styles. From casual weekly meals to refined private dinners, I focus on delivering a personalized experience rooted in flavor, nutrition, and hospitality. Today, I bring my expertise to private homes and events while also working at Cardero's and with a health-focused company that emphasizes balanced, nourishing meals. Whether you are looking for a special dinner or weekly meals, I'm here to make it unforgettable. Reach out—I'd be happy to plan something tailored just for you. I’ve been working professionally as a chef since 2017, after graduating with a degree in Culinary Arts in Brazil. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in both restaurant kitchens and private settings, allowing me to adapt to a wide range of culinary styles and client needs. My core specialties are Brazilian and Italian cuisine, rooted in my heritage and personal passion. However, I’ve also worked with Mediterranean, vegetarian, low-carb, and wellness-focused menus—especially in my current role with a company dedicated to balanced, health-conscious eating.

My name is Kim. I live in Vancouver, BC. I have been working in the food and beverage industry since I was 17 years old. I was a hostess, busgirl, food expeditor, server, and bartender. Growing up my dad was a professional chef so I have learned from the best! When the pandemic happened I was spending more time at home, so it allowed me to explore my creative side. I have created a whole line of organic yogurt dipping sauces that have gained popularity among the fitness industry. If you would like to learn more about my dip venture you can search Dip Queen Vancouver to see all of my reviews from customers! I’ve worked on food and beverage teams since the age of 17. My most recent restaurant experience ended in 2019-2020 due to mandatory shut down due to the pandemic. I have my food safe course, and my smart serve.
