Job ID: Newport Beach Meal Prep
Wonderful Return Clients in Newport Beach are seeking a talented, health-conscious Meal Prep Chef to support their family of 4's weekly nutrition and wellness goals. We placed their exceptional Family Assistant three years ago (who is still happily with them!), and they are now excited to add a reliable, organized chef who can bring ease and consistency to healthy eating — with a special focus on supporting mom’s weight-loss journey. This role centers on planning and preparing balanced, macro-conscious meals for the week (3 meals per day plus snacks). Meals should be flavorful, satisfying, and approachable for both adults and children — though mom’s nutrition goals are the primary priority. The ideal candidate understands portioning, protein-forward cooking, and how to make nourishing food feel exciting rather than restrictive.The chef may cook in the home or prepare off-site and deliver, as long as meals are freshly prepared and packaged for the week across two evenly spaced prep days.
