Job description:

This is a Monday to Friday position with a requirement to prepare meals that meet the family’s dietary needs and lifestyle, especially as their young children (aged 4 &
5) begin eating shared meals with their parents. The chef will prepare three meals daily (breakfast, lunch, dinner), pack healthy school lunches for the children, and prepare nutritious, grab-and-go snacks for the principal. A variety of cuisines is welcome, especially those with international flavors. Duties also include full kitchen management: grocery shopping, pantry/fridge organization, and keeping the kitchen spotless. The chef will collaborate with a registered dietitian the family already works with, ensuring that all meals align with their health goals.

The family prefers a chef with a health-focused background over fine-dining or Michelin-level experience. Occasional travel to Maui, Hawaii (approximately 5 times per year for up to 12 days at a time) is required. A cooking trial (from a weekend to up to two weeks) is expected to evaluate both culinary and interpersonal fit. The salary is flexible based on experience, with a range from $145,000 up to $175,000/year.
