Private chef

It sounds like you just want to do this part time, though? Or you want to do it instead of nannying?

If you call yourself a "cook" rather than a "chef," I don't think people will expect the same credentials.

I would talk to your nanny family, though. Maybe they know some people who might want to hire you at least on an occasional basis, and if your food is good, and you're otherwise prompt, keep the house neat, remember preferences, etc., before long you'll have a good set of clients and references. Then you can advertise yourself.

Nanny here. The family I work for in Los Angeles has a personal chef who comes in once a week and makes five adult meals, including all ingredients, for $350 a week. She is an actual cooking school graduate. The chef budgets out the means so my employers are not going to get steak every night but the meals are fantastic and delicious.

Hey! I was wondering what this would cost. Good to know!

Thanks for your reply. Can you please ask her how she get that position? I meant did she contact any agency?
