Family and Household Dynamics

A peek behind the front door...

Children's Ages: It's a busy home with five active, social and upbeat teenagers! However, several of the children are in the home part-time only.
About the Family:
  • This is a blended family of seven—two adults and five teens—though not all children are in the home every week.
  • Mom and dad both work full-time, and have demanding careers. They are kind, thoughtful, generous and eager to have someone help them make those crazy evenings run a little smoother! Goodbye fast food!
Additional Notes:
  • Since this is a blended family, flexibility around portion sizes is preferred.
  • They are open to two types of schedules:.
    • Evening prep: Chef comes in later in the day two days a week. They would prep a meal and then serve a hot and fresh meal that would be ready by 5:00 PM, with clean-up completed by 5:30–6:00 PM
    • Morning prep: Chef comes in earlier in the day, twice a week to prepare a meal for that night and prep a meal for the next night. Although not ideal, they are open to this at a lower rate.
