I am Caren, a dedicated caregiver with over 30 years of experience in the senior home care industry.
My journey began in Eastern Canada at Great Northern Retirement Home, where I spent five years serving as an Activity Coordinator, Dietary Aid, and Chef. I later spent 15 years at Comcare Retirement Home providing Home Support, and I have been a professional Chef for over 30 years.
I never imagined that caring for “Grammas and Grandpas” could bring me such joy. My background in the culinary arts started with cooking classes in high school and led me to work with some of the most amazing chefs in Ontario and BC. I also served as a supervisor at two different restaurants in Langley. After a battle with cancer, I shifted my focus away from heavy lifting to more personal, meaningful support.
I am a solo provider offering heart-centered care for both individuals and couples. I pride myself on my friendly nature—I’ve never met a person who didn’t end up becoming my friend.
