Drop Off Chef in Cheviott Hills for nicest busy family including Grandma

Filled

Posted : 10/20/25

Loveliest family in Cheviot Hills including Mom, Dad, teenage son and Grandma, are looking for a great healthy drop off chef! They had a chef for years who they loved who just moved out LA, and are hoping to find someone just as great to replace them.

This family loves flavor, think herbs, spices and citrus and creative yet healthy flavors. Grandma needs low sodium in her diet but won’t eat unless the flavor is strong, so getting inventive is important.

They’d love to have drops on Mondays, and Wednesdays – always dinner and either breakfast or lunch items. The family eats mostly chicken, fish, lentils and veggies. The husband will eat an occasional hanger steak every other week. No pork. The family loves fresh produce from the farmers market and high quality chicken fish from the fish monger, etc. They also love locally sourced fruit with each drop. As well as keeping everything organic and cooking with healthy oils: olive and avocado.

The parents are busy working, and have an active busy teenager so getting the right food so they aren’t worrying about dinner is an important investment for them. They would love to partner with their new chef on healthy food, and sending occasional recipes they like. Here and there they will also ask for traditional chocolate chip cookies, brownies or muffins – so someone who enjoys baking is a plus!

Please respond if you’re interested, ideally live close by and what your rate is. The family will pay your rate plus reimburse for groceries.

Ready to hire! Resumes and interest can be emailed to naomi@thehelpcompany.com
