  • Ensure all dishes comply with the household’s no-pork requirement.
  • Work independently and manage meal preparation efficiently without constant supervision.
  • Adjust cooking schedules and menus around the family’s daily activities and requirements.
  • Maintain complete discretion and confidentiality concerning the family and their private household.
