A warm, busy dual-income family with three young children is in need of a highly experienced house manager/cook to join their household team. Both parents keep long hours professionally, and the household runs at full speed — three kids going in different directions, a nanny, and a housekeeper already in place. The person who held this role for eight years is retiring, and they are looking for someone just as dedicated to step in seamlessly. She has been living in the family home, (it has separate wing and separate entrance, so if you prefer a live in position) She has been somewhat of an aunt to the family - or a wife (so to speak). She had an equal love for cooking and household oversight. The ideal candidate is either a house manager who loves to cook or a talented cook who thrives on running a well-organized home. Either way, you are equally comfortable at the stove and at the helm.
