I am organized! I have local experience working privately for busy Executive families as a Household Manager and Private Chef for 10+ years. I cooked and catered for them and their businesses; coordinated household cleaning and repairs; arranged flowers and calendars; picked up children, dry-cleaning and the family dog from the local pooch wash; and a myriad of other personal services that keep busy homes running smoothly. I am a whiz at organizing kitchens, records and files, closets and annual calendars. I can stitch, iron and do laundry. My cooking has won awards and accolades. I appreciate the local and regional bounty and I know where to find almost any ingredients for any cuisine. I can manage special events for two to one hundred people and I have several professional contacts who I can call for large event support. This is work I am passionate about. I enjoyed a very fulfilling career as a corporate chef and often draw upon the many skills and outright hustle I learned in that profession to support my private domestic work. I enjoy children, especially those beyond the toddler age. My recipe repertoire includes many healthy and kid-friendly options and my Rice Krispy Treats have been called the best in the world!
