About Jill D.

I am a cheerful and optimistic individual with a genuine love for life and a passion for connecting with people. Nothing brings me more joy than listening to others share their life stories and experiences—they are always fascinating and inspiring. I’ve been fortunate to travel extensively, visiting every continent by plane or sea, which has deepened my appreciation for diverse cultures and cuisines. As a skilled cook with cordon bleu/chef-level expertise, I ran my own catering business for many years. I have a talent for preparing dishes from around the world and love cooking for both large groups and individuals. Nutrition is one of my specialties, and I believe that even a small appetite deserves vibrant, flavorful food. I also enjoy gardening and growing my own vegetables and herbs, which often make their way into my dishes. In my downtime, I take pleasure in reading, sketching, writing, and exploring the great outdoors. I am an avid birdwatcher and enjoy identifying birds as part of my love for nature. Live performances like comedies, murder mysteries, musicals, and operas are my favorite forms of entertainment, and I value the simple joys of homemade treats like bread and marmalade, which I’m always happy to share. I am also a regular churchgoer, and my faith provides me with grounding and strength. Laughter, especially the pure sound of a child’s giggle, is my favorite melody and a reminder of life’s simple pleasures. But enough about me—what truly matters is you, the person I will have the privilege to care for. I look forward to getting to know you, understanding your needs, and ensuring that you feel valued, supported, and cared for every step of the way.

Hobbies

I have a passion for cooking and gardening, finding joy in creating flavorful dishes and nurturing plants. I also enjoy exploring my creative side through writing and sketching. Delving into antiques and researching family trees fascinate me, as does getting lost in a good book or enjoying the magic of the theatre.
