[quote=Anonymous]I agreed to do some cooking for a family I worked for and really enjoyed it. The kids were older but what worked well is that MB would leave a recipe and ingredients, and I made it while the kids did homework in the kitchen so I could help. Sometimes the kids would also help me with age appropriate tasks (mixing, measuring). I tried to clean as I went so the parents could come home and eat, then just be left with the pot or serving dish. I didn't mind this because there was never any other creep, I didn't do shopping for them, she paid me extra when they added this responsibility, they had cleaners who came regularly and MB kept the house very tidy before I arrived. You could will have to see what she is comfortable with, like can she do the whole recipe or would she prefer to prep items (wash and cut vegetables, marinate fish/meat, put rice in the cooker timed for when you get there). Do NOT make her buy your groceries on her own card. If she is coming up with the recipes she can give you a list and you can get it with your other household items, or you can get her a credit card to use. [/quote]
