I am seeking a reliable, detail-oriented individual with experience in cooking—either as a dedicated home cook or with a professional culinary background—who values the connection between food and health. 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.

About me: I am a disabled female science educator, musician and artist in my early 50s who uses a wheelchair.

Food is an important aspect of my health/healing plan.

This is the only hands-on caregiving I would need you to assist with and it would only be as a sub/if I don't have another caregiver that day.
