Lovely cool gentlemen have decided to finally get a full time chef. They love good food and entertaining.

what a story!!! this young lady is suffering from long covid. This 28 year old athlete and author has lost all of her energy and also has POTS which has landed her in a wheel chair. She is able to handle her own personal care, but does need help with her meals, cooking, errands and light cleaning. This would be wonderful for a chef that wants some private chef experience and could be a great companion. She does not need “taking care of”! They are thinking 7 am – 7 or 8 pm Friday, Saturday and Sunday starting October 24th. She lives in Hancock Park and needs someone to start in a couple weeks. Please reach out to either

Thank you!!

We are thrilled to share a wonderful opportunity to work with a truly lovely family in Palos Verdes! This household includes a couple and their two young boys. The family follows a gluten-free, healthy diet due to the father’s celiac disease, and they are seeking a reliable, skilled chef for a hybrid cooking role once a week.

The chef will cook and serve a fresh meal in the home, and will also prepare additional meals for the week that the family can easily enjoy later. This is a hands-on cooking day rather than a pure drop-off role.

To start, the family would like to commit to one month. It’s very likely they will continue afterward, but for now, the initial agreement will cover the first month so everyone can make sure the rhythm and fit feel just right.

The ideal candidate will prepare clean, simple, healthy meals that are flavorful, safe, and fully gluten-free. This is a wonderful opportunity to cook for a family who truly values nutritious, thoughtfully prepared food.

The ideal candidate is:
• Experienced in gluten-free cooking, ideally with celiac clients
• Warm, reliable, and highly organized
• Equipped with stellar references and a clear background
• Based in or near Palos Verdes

Compensation: Hourly, commensurate with experience

To Apply: Please send an updated resume and your hourly rate to help@thehelpcompany.com.
