My name is Shannon. I am 56, married and a Mother to our daughter who is 18 and currently away in Montreal for University. I was born in Calgary Alberta but have lived in Vancouver for 37 years. My husband and I ran a pizza chain restaurant for over 25 years where I participated in all aspects of the business - food production, merchandising, customer service, management, staff training, development of head office, hiring/firing, payroll, inventory and accounts payable.

I have been in senior care companionship, working for myself for 18 years. I have found my greatest joy has always come through creating enjoyable meals, filling the fridge with easy, healthy possibilities as well as personal treats custom to the client. Often times elders settle for what is easy over delicious because it feels hard or complicated. Recipes from their past helps them reconnect with who they are and where they’ve come from! I love preparing meals for gatherings and special occasions to encourage community and social networks. Book clubs, birthdays, high tea - let’s get together!

I have an updated food safety certificate. I have not had any professional culinary education but have cooked for my family, friends and clients my whole life.

Personal home cook

Enabled client with ALS to have their food preferences ready and available enabling freedom and personal preferences accessible. Visited once a week, was given a shopping list and given a wish list of items to eat or recipes they wanted to try for the week. I would go to several different locations around town, pick up the groceries, come back to their residence and fill the fridge with breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack items for the week freeing up time for their partner and personal care givers. I would always clean up the kitchen after and make sure that I left that space clean and well organized. I also worked with a nutritionist who provided dietary specific recipes mostly high protein suggestions for meals and smoothies.

Responsibilities included all home organization, cleaning, facilitating repairs and maintenance, light gardening, light office work, assisting with appointments, driving to appointments, cooking daily meals and filling the refrigerator with easy to heat and access meals as well as arranging social gatherings for special occasions. Preparing most of the food, setting the food out for easy access, assisting with serving and drinks, clean up.
