Looking for a kind chef to work for a family in Saratoga Springs

Open

Posted : 05/21/25

We are helping a kind family of 4 find a lovely and warm chef for their home in Saratoga Springs. They are open to full or part time, depending on your location. If you are commuting in from the city, they will cover your monthly train expenses. They have young children in the home, so please be conservatively dressed and be okay with acting like a role model in the home. This family eats everything – they want a good balance of healthy food, but open to trying anything. The children eat almost everything, but some dishes need to be modified – no spice for the children, etc. They want lunch and dinner 5 days per week, but if you are commuting in, you could make extra food and leave it in the fridge until your next shift. They also need grab and go breakfast items and snacks. If you are looking for a lovely and kind family to work for, send us your resume in a word doc along with your salary requirements. heather@thehelpcompany.com
