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.

Food Handler’s Certification

With years of off-and-on experience as a nanny and babysitter, I have developed a nurturing and understanding approach to childcare. I believe in treating children as wise individuals who are still learning how to express their feelings. Instead of reacting with frustration or simply saying “no, ” I make it a point to ask questions and understand the root of their behavior. This thoughtful approach helps create a safe and trusting environment where children feel heard and respected, fostering positive communication and growth. In addition to my childcare experience, I have been working as a personal chef for over a year, combining my passion for cooking and baking with my ability to tailor meals to meet the unique needs of my clients. From crafting balanced, nutritious meals to accommodating specific dietary preferences, I enjoy creating food that brings joy and comfort. While I value both my childcare and culinary experience, I am currently seeking part time opportunities that focus on personal chef positions, where I can dedicate my skills to providing customized, high-quality culinary experiences for my clients. But I am more than happy to have a conversation about childcare opportunities. I look forward to connecting. I bring extensive experience working in professional kitchens and as a personal chef, currently providing tailored culinary services for an influencer. Additionally, I have been a paid caterer for workshops, delivering meals that are both delicious and well-presented. My background has equipped me with the skills to manage various dietary preferences, create balanced menus, and ensure a smooth culinary experience in any setting.
