Summary:
A discreet, UHNW couple in San Diego is seeking a private chef to manage all meal preparation for their household. This role covers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, with an emphasis on preparing grab-and-go options for the week ahead, think berry breakfast parfaits, breakfast burritos, and fresh salad components that stay crisp and appealing throughout the week. Lunches should be easy to pull from the fridge and reheat in the microwave or oven as needed. On days when the chef is on-site, the couple looks forward to a warm, freshly prepared dinner. There are no dietary restrictions, and the couple enjoys all types of food, so the ideal candidate brings creativity and variety to the menu while keeping meals health-focused. The right candidate has strong culinary skills, is comfortable planning and batch-prepping for the week, and takes pride in thoughtful presentation and ingredient quality. The position is for 1-2 days a week, depending on what the chef will need to accomplish what is being asked.

Required Skills:
This is a full-time position within a fully staffed estate, and the successful candidate will be someone who blends seamlessly into that environment: quiet, low-key, and highly discreet, with excellent judgment around client privacy and confidentiality. The couple values someone who keeps to themselves, communicates efficiently rather than casually, and understands the expectations that come with working in a UHNW household. A genuine love of dogs is a must, as the household includes pets who are very much part of daily life. The ideal candidate is kind, warm in spirit but reserved in manner, service-minded, and dependable, bringing both consistency and creativity to every meal they prepare.
