About Us

We are a dynamic and creative household balancing work and travel. One member works from home, hosting podcasts and writing books, while the other works mostly outside the home. We care deeply about food and quality, but after making it a business for so long, we no longer enjoy cooking on a regular basis. We value healthy living and prioritize it in our daily routines. Our household also includes the recent addition of two playful kittens.

We strive for organization and efficiency in our lives. We’re looking for someone who can help with daily admin tasks and follow recipes/cook and shop.

Who You Are / What We’re Looking For

This role is designed to be 50-70% meal prep, with preference for cooking in your own space. The other time will focus on personal assistant tasks—tidying (no deep cleaning), errands, etc.  You can work independently but also follow directions as needed. You enjoy a friendly work environment, but you know when to read the room and get things done. You’re proactive, able to take the initiative, and skilled at maintaining food safety standards. You have an approachable demeanor, genuinely enjoy cooking, and can manage various household duties like tidying, cat care, and errands with ease. We’d love it if you can also house sit on occasion to care for the kittens (but this isn’t a deal breaker!).
