About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I've been a private chef for families the last 35 years. I'm mostly retired but enjoy helping seniors with nutritious meals in their refrigerators. I'm happy to do light housekeeping, run basic errands. I'd describe my personality as outgoing, friendly, comical. I like caring for seniors because there's always opportunity to learn something new from them. I'm looking for a job where I may support local seniors. Where I feel appreciated, know my time is well spent. I started caring for seniors when I begin my career as a private chef 35 years ago. The families I worked for had grandparents! I'd prepare meals for them regularly and enjoyed when they'd sit in the kitchen, sharing stories with me as I prepared their favorite meals. It wasn't unusual for me to stay with the family's grandparents when they had to travel out of town. In my spare time, I like to keep bees, a beautiful vegetable garden and flower gardens. I also keep chickens and enjoy spending time outside with my dog.
