- 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).

- 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.

- 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.
