We’re looking for someone who cooks like a parent or grandparent - simple, comforting, kid‑friendly meals. Not a chef. Not a line cook. Just real food made with real care. This is a one‑person kitchen, so daily dependability is essential. Perform math for portioning and calculations related to the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP). Hours 6.5-8 hrs p/day
Serving 30–90 children daily | Small, home‑style kitchen.
What You’ll Do:
Breakfast 9:00 AM.
Lunch 11:00
PM 2:00–2:15.
Prepare home‑style meals that meet CACFP requirements.
Complete CACFP documentation (menus, production records, portions).
Wash dishes, sanitize, and reset the kitchen.
Use DEC‑aligned communication with staff (calm, respectful, team‑minded).
Online grocery shop twice weekly; one pickup (your transportation), one delivery.
Work efficiently in a small, once‑a‑home kitchen.
Perform basic math for portioning and calculations related to the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
Qualifications:
Experience in childcare, healthcare, or dietary settings, and cooking for large groups regularly.
Must be 21 or older to apply.
Regular cooking for large groups or cafe/restaurant kitchen experience.
Strong home-style cooking & food-safety skills.
Familiarity with CACFP and DEC regulations is a PLUS.
Reliable, friendly, flexible, efficient in a busy environment.
Steady on feet 6-8 hours at a time.
Efficient and accurate with measurements, documents, inventory, and shopping.
Must have own transportation to pick up supplies weekly.
Who You Are:
Extremely reliable — this role depends on you every day.
Warm, steady, and kid‑friendly.
Comfortable on your feet all day.
Organized and able to switch gears quickly.
Enjoy cooking simple, nourishing meals.
Willing to learn CACFP + DEC (if new).
A Day Here:
Greet families, settle kids, then head to the kitchen to get breakfast rolling 8:30. Lunch flow at 11:00 & :11:30, dishes get done, documentation, snack goes out mid‑afternoon, clean down and prep for next day. It’s a steady rhythm — cozy, busy, meaningful — and your cooking becomes part of the children’s daily comfort.
If you want a job where your food truly matters, we’d love to meet you.
