A warm, active family in Kentfield is looking for a skilled cook to take ownership of their kitchen. This is a well-established, professionally staffed household with young children, and the family is ready to hand meal planning and food prep over to someone who can truly run with it. Their goal is simple: healthy, ready-to-eat meals on the table, an organized kitchen, and one less thing on their plate.

This is a food-first role. It is not a nanny position and not a deep-cleaning role. The right person will feel confident owning the kitchen end to end, from planning and cooking to keeping the fridge and pantry stocked and orderly.
