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!

$130,000 plus benefits | Weekdays only | Creative, high-energy role

We are seeking a full-time private chef to support a high-profile company owner in a dynamic entertainment office in Burbank. This is a unique opportunity for a creative, flexible chef who is passionate about global flavors, loves to experiment, and enjoys being part of a collaborative, upbeat environment.

About the role:

You will prepare breakfast, lunch, and a light afternoon snack (approximately 2.5 meals per day), Monday through Friday. All meals are to be cooked off-site in your own kitchen and delivered fully prepared each day. The Principal’s assistant will handle any necessary reheating. While there is currently no kitchen on site, there is a possibility that a commercial kitchen space may be rented nearby in the future. On occasion, you may be asked to prepare additional food for in-office holiday parties or small gatherings.

Culinary preferences:

The principal especially loves tapas, paella, and Szechwan flavors. He is eager to explore fusion cuisine and encourages creativity in the kitchen. This is an ideal position for a chef with a strong foundation in classic techniques who enjoys thinking outside the box and coming up with new ideas.

What we’re looking for:

• A chef who lives in or near Burbank
• Strong experience preparing fresh, healthy, flavorful meals (private chef experience a plus)
• Solid knowledge of global cuisines — particularly Spanish, Asian, and fusion styles
• Highly organized, efficient, and self-motivated
• A warm, positive, and energizing presence — you’ll be part of the office culture, so personality matters
• Comfortable working independently and delivering meals daily

Compensation and benefits:

• $62.50 hour, based on a 40-hour week (annualized to $130,000)
• Full-time salaried position with no overtime or weekend work
• Benefits include health insurance, two weeks of PTO, and mileage reimbursement

This is a rare opportunity to be part of a high-functioning creative office while doing what you love. If you’re a talented chef who thrives on innovation and enjoys bringing joy through food, we’d love to hear from you.
