Family of Four Seeks Organized Cook with High EQ


Part-Time | Brentwood

Our lovely clients — a couple in Brentwood with two sons (one heading to college this fall, the other starting high school) — is seeking a warm, professional Chef to support their family twice a week.

Schedule:
Ideally Monday and Wednesday (or Thursday). The Chef will cook on-site two days per week but prepare meals to cover four days. No serving is required — items can be left for the family to finish or reheat as needed.

Ideal Candidate:
They’re looking for a Chef with excellent boundaries and a high emotional IQ — someone who is gracious, professional, and takes feedback well. Years ago, they hired a wonderful Chef who unfortunately was a bit too chatty, so this time, they’d love someone quietly confident who’s there to please and support the household.

Food Preferences:
Lunch is light and simple, and dinners are family-style and nourishing. Their teenage son eats 4–5 meals a day, so it’s helpful to have heartier staples like tortilla soup or proteins like chicken breasts stocked in the fridge.

Fun Extras:
They have a small farm in Ojai with a 1,000 sq ft garden and would love to incorporate ingredients from it whenever possible. There’s one dog and one cat — the cat mostly stays in one upstairs room, so allergy concerns are minimal.

To Apply:
Please send your updated resume, reference information, hourly rate, and availability.

Thanks so much!
