About Dustin

Hello! I am a creative at heart who has worked as a cook for all of my adult life. I left the food industry a little over a year ago to pursue an art degree. I live with my partner, Ash who is also an artist and an elementary special education teacher, and our corgi, Shio, named after my favorite type of ramen. I nannied for 2 families and supported seniors in those families for 10 years prior to becoming a teacher and I am interested in the same kind of service while continuing my education. I am a great cook, with 15 years experience in restaurants. I ran a cafeteria kitchen in Portland, creating fresh new recipes and delicious food for our employees 2 meals a day; sadly the office closed during the pandemic. I love storytelling and hearing the stories of others. If you're looking for someone part time to come support you or your loved one run errands, cook meals, get some exercise around the block and even do some creative things together, I'd love to meet you!
