Do you enjoy cooking, staying organized, and making a difference in children’s lives? The Nest Schools is looking for a dependable, caring, and experienced Childcare Cook to join our team.

This is more than a kitchen position. As our Cook, you will help children build healthy habits by preparing nutritious meals and snacks in a safe, welcoming environment. Your work will support our classrooms, our teachers, and the families we serve each day.

  • Plan and post menus that meet nutritional guidelines

  • Deliver meals to classrooms safely and on schedule
  • Keep the kitchen, storage areas, and food preparation spaces clean and sanitary
  • Follow all health, safety, and food-handling requirements
  • Accurately record and report meals served
  • Communicate with school leadership and classroom staff as needed
What We’re Looking For
  • At least one year of experience preparing meals in a school, daycare center, restaurant, or similar setting
  • Knowledge of food safety, sanitation, and nutritional meal preparation
  • Strong time-management and organizational skills
  • Good written and verbal communication skills
  • A dependable, patient, flexible, and positive attitude
  • The ability to work independently and manage multiple responsibilities
  • A current State Food Manager License or willingness to obtain one
  • Must be able to regularly lift, carry, push and pull a minimum of 20 pounds, including children and classroom materials, with or without reasonable accommodation
Benefits
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Life insurance
  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Paid vacation, sick time, and holidays based on hours worked
  • Childcare discounts
  • Professional development opportunities
  • Employee referral bonuses
  • Employee Appreciation and Recognition Program
  • A supportive team and a workplace that values fun, kindness, and wellness

Join a growing organization where your work matters every day. Help us create healthy meals, happy children, and a positive school community.

Apply today to become part of The Nest Schools team.
