This position is ideal for chefs with an established background in high-end restaurants or prior private household experience, especially those passionate about working with organic, locally sourced, and seasonal ingredients. The Chef will be responsible for creating thoughtfully composed meals that meet the family’s preferences, dietary requirements, and lifestyle needs.

Professionalism and discretion are paramount, and the Chef must embody reliability, a calm and approachable demeanor, and the ability to work independently while maintaining creativity and warmth within the household.
Compensation ranges from $700 to $1,100 per day, commensurate with experience and skill level, reflecting the high standards and expectations of this exclusive position.
