When I launched the meal-prep-in-your-home version of my business August, 2024, I didn’t realize how much this type of service is needed in the community. My schedule was full immediately. I then began to develop and explore how to structure a sustainable business model to be able to serve more people. I was already incorporated nationally, so I registered provincially. I am licensed in Saskatoon as it’s my home city, but I can expand my business to the borders of Saskatchewan. I need home cooks in all parts of the province.
what do I do?
I go into the homes of seniors, busy adults and families to help with meal preparation. Each client is very different from the next in terms of what they need. For example, I have a few professional Moms that provide me with recipes, some families want me to “just make food”. I am booked daily, weekly and monthly with the same families which is beneficial each way because we become more efficient with time, and I get to know the families and actually fall in love with them.
Seniors have very different needs as well. Some seniors just want me to wash the dishes, others want me to make soup, others need me to clean out the fridge. My time with seniors is very rewarding because we always have time for a conversation and they impart deep wisdom and are always so very grateful for the support.
I literally created my dream job. I love cooking for people. And I’m looking for people who want to do the same thing. I need to fulfill this need in communities all over Saskatchewan, so I’m looking for home cooks in all parts of the province.
The benefits to being a home cook with me are a decent wage, create your own schedule and pick your own clients. You will have the benefit of my infrastructure and support, and become a member of a growing team of home cooks that share similar values. You will need to be food-safe certified, bondable and insured which is an initial expense but beneficial to you outside of working with me. I can connect you with ways to achieve these things.
I would sincerely love to connect with you to see if we are a great fit for each other. Please reach out.
I love to cook & bake too. I currently work in Saskatoon at a seniors complex where I definitely see a need for seniors to recieve healthy meals & some social contact. My question is how do they afford this service when so many of them are on a very tight fixed income? I’m interested in hearing more.
