I've been a passionate cook with 15 years of experience in the food service. I would cook three meals a day: breakfast, lunch, and supper. Skilled in menu planning, I type up menus every week. Pass them out to each of my residents. Experience in ordering supplies, such as food, supplies for housekeeping, and other departments, whatever was needed. I was in charge of all ordering. I was also responsible for two kitchens and would also do their ordering. The other kitchen was next door, behind a country place called the Memory Care, which is part of our building. I also would do store runs for both buildings for whatever we did not order off the truck. We also washed dishes, pots, and pans. Clean as we go, sweep, and mop. I have the ability to stay calm in high-stress situations, and I am a team player with excellent communication. I work a lot of overtime, which I don't mind. If they were short-staffed, I would help them in any department where it was needed. I work well with others, get along great, and I am a fast learner.
