Overview
Expectant parents in the West Village of NYC, are seeking a part-time, predominantly off-site chef. This is a new role and the schedule will be a guaranteed 20-25 hours per week (with the potential for this to expand in due course, as their family grows). Since the family’s apartment is an open-concept design, candidates should be able to grocery shop for/ prep (in an off-site capacity) 4 dinners and 3-4 lunches each week for 2 adults. Lunches can be delivered and left in the fridge to grab and go, and dinners do not need to be served, but warmed/prepared fresh at their home for 6-7:30 pm, then the candidate may clean up and leave. The family is expecting a baby in February, so the scope of the role will evolve slightly to reflect this 4-6 months later.
Candidates will also be expected to manage occasional dinners (likely once every 2-3 months) for up to 10 people, as well as manage all grocery shopping and keep the fridge/ pantry tidy and stocked. The family is seeking a candidate who is looking to commit in a long-term capacity and grow with their family. There are no allergies in the home.
