Summary
As a dedicated cook at Papilio Childcare in Killara, I specialize in making healthy meal plans just for little kids. I'm good at planning menus that follow nutrition rules and fit different eating habits and needs. I also know how to run a kitchen well, keeping it very clean and following important food safety rules. I'm experienced in handling food allergies and sensitivities, making sure all kids have safe and fun meals. Before this, I worked at 32bake House and Nikan Restaurant, where I learned to make fun and nutritious meals that help kids grow and develop in childcare settings.
