Lafayette client needing to hire a drop off Chef

Open

Posted : 05/26/26

Cute family of three living in beautiful Lafayette looking for a drop-off chef to help make their weeks feel a little less hectic and a lot more delicious. They have a 5-year-old daughter and tend to fall into the same meal routines every week, so they’d love someone who enjoys creating fresh, approachable family-style meals with lots of variety. They’re pretty veggie-focused and love things like grilled chicken or pork tenderloin, pasta nights (their daughter loves tortellini and pesto), grain bowls, soups, Thai-inspired dishes, rice and beans, and simple comfort foods like grilled cheese and tomato soup. Minimal seafood please (her husband loves it, she doesn’t, so they usually avoid it). They’re hoping to find someone who can help with menu planning, grocery shopping, and prepared meal drop-offs about 3 times a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for two adults and one child. Their daughter brings lunch to school each day, dad brings lunch into the office, and mom works from home and typically eats meals at home, so having fresh, easy, ready-to-go options throughout the week would be incredibly helpful. Breakfasts and lunches should be simple to grab, pack, or reheat during busy work and school days, and Sunday dinner is especially important to them.

Mostly, they’re looking for someone dependable who genuinely enjoys feeding families and making life easier through good food. Compensation is DOE. Looking forward to connecting! Must be a local Bay Area candidate.

Private Family Chef
A warm, grounded family is searching for someone special — and they hope to find them for keeps.

A high-profile but genuinely down-to-earth family in Santa Monica is looking for a talented chef to become part of their household. At the heart of this search is one thing above all else: longevity. They aren’t looking to fill a slot — they’re looking to welcome someone into the rhythm of their family life and build something lasting together.

The family includes three children all under the age of seven, so the ideal candidate will bring as much warmth and creativity to a Tuesday lunch box as to a Friday night dinner. This is a family-style kitchen — nourishing, wholesome, and enjoyed together at the table. No plated service, no fuss. Just really good food made with care.

The household is kosher. Meat is delivered; the chef is responsible for sourcing fresh produce, dairy, and pantry items. A working knowledge of kosher kitchen practices is required.

Compensation
$500 per day but DOE and hours
Schedule
Monday, Wednesday to Friday hot dinner
Each shift
Dinner on-site · next-day lunch for kids · next-day dinner to snack prep
Household keeps a kosher kitchen
