They are looking for a Chef who genuinely enjoys creating flavorful, nourishing meals and understands that healthy food should still be something the entire family looks forward to eating.

The family also travels to their residences in Florida, Michigan, and the United Kingdom during school breaks, and the Chef will travel with them as needed.

The right candidate will be calm, warm, organized, proactive, and comfortable becoming a trusted presence within a family home. They should be able to anticipate the family’s needs, work independently, and adapt easily as schedules and preferences change.
