Do you wake up dreading what you will feed yourself and the kids? Do you wish you could open the fridge to find ready-made meals just waiting for you to dig in? Or maybe you dream about being pampered with homemade meals that are nutritious and delicious after a long day’s work. I’m Nancy, the answer to your dreams! One of my favourite things to do is cook for people - nothing compares to the satisfaction of knowing a dish I created with my own two hands has brought joy, ease, and nourishment to someone’s life. I am happiest when released into a kitchen with a stocked fridge and a free day! As someone who has worked in a supportive role for families on and off over the last decade, I understand how truly hectic the week can get. The last thing you need on your plate is, well… figuring out what to put on your plate! Let me take care of that for you so you can focus on showing up fully for your family. I am happy to accommodate dietary restrictions/allergies of all kinds! Hope to feed you soon :) I have worked in respite care on and off for 8 years, including daily meal preparation for a family of 7 with food allergies and dietary restrictions.
