Monaco

Job Description

A warm and easygoing family relocating to Monaco is looking for a Private Chef / Family Cook to support their daily lifestyle through fresh, healthy, and family-style cooking.

The household is composed of two adults and their two young children (aged 4 and 2), supported by a nanny and a head housekeeper. The environment is informal, respectful, and centered around family life.

This role is ideal for a chef who enjoys simple, high-quality cooking, using seasonal ingredients, rather than formal or restaurant-style cuisine. The focus is on creating meals that are both nutritious and enjoyable for adults and children alike.

Responsibilities

  • Prepare daily lunch and dinner for the family.
  • Cook balanced and child-friendly meals for the two young children.
  • Prepare meals for household staff when required.
  • Create healthy snacks throughout the day.
  • Occasionally prepare simple breakfast items in advance.
  • Source fresh, organic, and seasonal ingredients.
  • Plan weekly menus aligned with the family’s preferences.
  • Cook a variety of cuisines and introduce new ideas when appropriate.
  • Adapt meals to dietary needs (gluten-free, lactose-free, low sugar, etc.).
  • Maintain a clean, organised, and well-managed kitchen.
  • Monitor pantry and fridge stock, ensuring proper storage and rotation.
  • Occasionally assist with informal entertaining or small gatherings.

Job Requirements

  • Previous experience as a Private Chef, Family Cook, or similar role.
  • Comfortable cooking for young children.
  • Strong understanding of healthy, fresh, and seasonal cuisine.
  • Ability to prepare diverse international dishes.
  • Flexible, adaptable, and able to adjust to family routines.
  • Comfortable working within a private household environment.
  • Organised, reliable, and discreet.
  • Fluent in English.
  • Portuguese or Spanish is a strong plus.
  • Friendly, team-oriented, and down-to-earth personality.

Working Conditions

Schedule
Monday to Friday, with flexibility depending on the family’s needs:

  • Either preparing dinner in advance and finishing earlier
  • Or remaining until dinner service (typically around 6:00 PM)

Occasional flexibility required for small dinners or gatherings.

Contract

  • Freelance / self-employed start from April 2026.
  • Transition to a full-time permanent contract from July 2026.

Salary

Up to €4,500 net per month
