We’re looking for a friendly, talented Chef to cook dinners for a fun Sherman Oaks family! They have three teenage boys and a busy household, so we’re hoping to find someone who can handle the dinner flow 3–4 days a week — shopping, cooking, serving, and leaving the kitchen spotless.

Hours are roughly 4–8 PM, and you’d be working with a really kind, easygoing family.
If this sounds like a good fit, we’d love to hear from you!
