About


I enjoy the company of others and I like to learn new things about people. I would like to share some of my knowledge as a chef and make wonderful meals and treats with somebody who enjoys cooking. Cooking is my greatest passion, but I love so many things - books, walking, movies, swimming, nature, talking, learning, playing card or board games, gardening, painting, sculpture and pottery, to name a few :) I have lost some family members to illness, both physical and mental. I am empathetic and open to listen and learn, while offering my skills and openness in return. I want to go to 'work' and make a positive difference in someone's life. I am willing to complete any necessary training so I can be of service and assistance.
