Nine years ago, i lost both my parents to cancer. While they were sick, i took care of them at home, and then at the Palliative Care, which I had work perviously as the Chef for three years..and meet each patient that came into the residence, and went over their preferences to what they could eat, what they liked or disliked, that way I could develop a little friendship with most of them, and learnt so much being there. So when my parents had their sickness, this experience helped me with my parents, i was more aware to their needs, illness, what to do, and how to take care of them. Since then, I've had a very big interest in helping the elderly, and wanting to do things for them. I have now taken care elderly with many different problems, and just need a companion. Ive been cooking over 30yrs, and enjoy doing this as part of making their day more enjoyable and relaxing.
