With 8 years of experience working in Private Households and a European background Hospitality, I specialize in providing premium housekeeping services, laundry care, home organization, and meal preparation. Whether it is preparing light daily meals or gourmet dishes, running errands, or managing vehicles and concierge tasks, I ensure every detail is handled with precision. I am energetic, meticulous, and possess a strong work ethic. Known for being conscientious and trustworthy, I bring an extraordinary level of professionalism, warmth, and high standards to every task. If you are seeking someone who can manage your household with care and attention, I would be delighted to assist. Excellent references on request as well as police check record. My culinary style draws inspiration from family traditions, focusing on simplicity, conviviality, and freshness: slow-cooked dishes, hearty soups, juicy roasts, fish delights, summer salads, yummy fruit tarts, generous crème brûlée, and old-fashioned madeleines and more. Specializing in chef-inspired home cooking with a Mediterranean touch, I offer light weekday meals and gourmet menus for intimate gatherings (8-10 people).

I am a dynamic, fun, loving, and caring 30-year-old female. I am reserved but can also be the life of the party. I am dedicated to my tasks, detailed, and accomplishment-driven. I take satisfaction in a job well done. I grew up with an Italian father in France, an Estonian grandmother, and a Canadian-born mother who all cooked while I was growing up, and I learned a lot from them. As I started my adult journey, cooking never came hard, and as I became a nanny, I kept reinforcing those skills. I cook on a daily basis for my partner and me and constantly love looking for new recipes. I am proactive and adapt to your lifestyle. During my time as a nanny, I have always meal prepped and cooked. It came naturally; my employers always encouraged me seeing that I adored it and the results were well-received. With a background that includes French, Italian, Estonian, and Canadian heritage, I incorporate these influences into my cooking. I use simple ingredients that still yield delicious and satisfying results. I am adaptable and eager to hear about your preferences and needs. I cook dishes that I have made many times but also love to experiment! I also take care to clean up after myself, respect my work environment, and work well with others. I am punctual, detail-oriented, and attentive to directions. I handle tasks such as vacuuming, cleaning specific areas, mopping, dusting, organizing (closets, shelves, etc.), doing laundry, ironing, and washing dishes.

I am an avid cyclist and can drive, so I would be happy to cook at your place, or I can prepare meals at mine and bring them over semi-prepped before finishing them at yours. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. I am Lauren, a creative, passionate, and experienced chef who is open to sharing my culinary skills in your home. A few summers back, I decided to start a farm on my grandfather's land, and now I can't imagine cooking with anything else but organic and fresh ingredients. After finishing culinary school in Vancouver, I traveled around North America and the UK, working in restaurants and bakeries. I hope to share these recipes, ideas, and techniques with you, your family, and your guests. Although I am a firm believer in experimentation and constantly play around with flavors, I would be thrilled to accommodate any restrictions or preferences you may have.
