Job Description
A Day Here:
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.
