This role combines personal cooking with light caregiving support in my home. You’ll be responsible for preparing all of my meals twice per week (Mondays and Thursdays), cooking and portioning enough food for 3–4 days at a time.

My kitchen is well equipped with appliances and essential kitchen tools, and I have a fairly large selection of spices and condiments. I have a collection of several hundred recipes that we have tailored to my specific needs, and I also enjoy trying new things and adding new recipes to the collection. About me: I am a disabled female science educator, musician and artist in my early 50s who uses a wheelchair. I don't have much use of my hands, so I need help with almost all aspects of my life and health at home. I also had a jaw injury last year which makes it difficult for me to talk, and I can only talk in small amounts at a time. So I do a lot of my communication via dictation/texting. Food is an important aspect of my health/healing plan.
