About Lynn

I am 53-years old, college educated and trained in culinary arts. I have served as a personal chef to a portfolio of clients, many of whom have special dietary needs and goals. I cook everything from standard diet dishes to allergen-free, gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian, or anything requested by the client. My work has led me to interface with Registered Dietitians at Hunterdon Cancer Center in Flemington, NJ where I worked to develop recipe concepts for a variety of physical conditions stemming from cancer, and cancer treatment and recovery. With multiple senior clients, my culinary work led me to expand my support services for senior client into daily living, emotional and psychological support for those aging in place and those who no longer drive. I am also open to offer personal care support if needed. I am open to motor vehicle and criminal background checks and am trusted by multiple clients over the years with references available upon request.

    Hello, I consider myself a warm, compassionate person with a gift of patience. I empathize with many because I know what it feels like to need someone one to lend a hand and how difficult it may be to ask for that help when needed. At age 15, I cared for my dying mother and father, and decided to dedicate my life to be of service to others who could no longer care for themselves. I can honestly say that care giving brings out the best in me. When I see a need, whether it be physical, mental or spiritual one, I am challenged to work with the families to help fulfill that need. Everyone deserves that kind of experience in life and I believe everyone needs somebody. I am very proud to be a caregiver for the last 35 years and the families I have met have enriched my life and have helped me grow as a person. Care giving is a choice to make the world a better place.

    I have provided holistic wellness and hospice comfort for seniors in their homes since 2017. By holistic, I mean to include the care of the spirit, soul, and body. I like to motivate and help seniors to find joy in daily life. I guide the client to work through daily challenges and to have peace in their hearts! I love to cook and bake from scratch from different cultures. I also provide light cleaning, doctor's appointments, essential transport, etc. Each client has their healthcare needs and may have a specific health condition. This is very important and discussed thoroughly from the beginning, and I maintain a dynamic routine custom planned for each client, with primary consideration and communication with their medical provider. I include exercise and encourage a walk in the fresh air as possible. I love challenges and love to meet my clients' needs. My goal is to make seniors and their families happy. I have experience with Dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Also, with Depression, loneliness, and grief. I helped veterans, and I am familiar with the needs of Kosher homes.
