I am a compassionate and dependable professional chef with eight years of experience working closely with families in private homes as a private chef. Skilled in meal planning, grocery shopping, household management, and organization, I have also developed a strong ability to build trusted, long-term relationships with the families I work with. I am seeking to transition into an eldercare companion role, bringing meaningful caregiving experience, patience, empathy, and a genuine ability to connect with older adults. I spent the final three years of my grandfather's life caring for him while he lived with dementia, providing daily meals, companionship, structured routines, activities, and emotional support. This was the most rewarding work I have ever done and inspired me to pursue eldercare professionally. I hope to bring that same compassion, patience, and dedication by helping an older adult feel safe, comfortable, engaged, and cared for in their own home.

    Maja-lisa has been cooking for our family for almost two years and has been an incredible help for our family. She is able to cook an extraordinary variety of meals and has kept us healthier and more energetic. She not only takes direction and suggestions but will offer up many ideas for meals without any input from us at all. She is organized, dependable, peaceful and wholesome addition to our chaotic family. The meals she makes have a wide range -- from special leafless salads to more traditional kid friendly lasagnas and very robust and hearty beef stews. She shops on her own and is able to make incredibly high quality food that means we always have something healthy and filling in the refrigerator. She has not only made our regular weekday meals but has made major meals/entrees for big family dinners when we need to entertain and could easily make a several course meal if we asked her to. The kids ages 15-10 have expanded their pallets and fallen in love with her. You will too!
