Private Chef -Miami- live out role - PT

About mymuybueno

mymuybueno is a leading global luxury hospitality and lifestyle group, specialising in the placement of exceptional private chefs and household staff for UHNW families, private residences, and superyachts. We are renowned for our uncompromising standards, discreet and personalised service, and our commitment to matching the very best talent with outstanding clients.

We are currently seeking an experienced, highly organised, and creative Private Chef for a part-time, live-out position based in Miami. This is an excellent opportunity for a chef who thrives in a private household environment, enjoys both family-style cooking and elegant entertaining, and is looking for a stable, ongoing role with a warm, respectful family.

Role Overview – What You’ll Be Working On

In this part-time role (approximately 20 hours per week), you will be responsible for planning and preparing high-quality, healthy, and varied meals for the family a few times per week, portioning and boxing dishes for the refrigerator to cover several days. You will also support and occasionally lead culinary execution for small events and private parties held at the residence.

The position is live-out, and you must already reside in the Miami area with the ability to travel easily to the family’s home. An ASAP start is preferred.

Key Aspects of the Role

You will design seasonal menus tailored to the family’s tastes and dietary preferences, source and shop for premium ingredients locally, and ensure meals are beautifully prepared, labelled, and stored for ease of use. On event days, you will take ownership of the culinary side of entertaining – from canapés and sharing-style menus to more refined plated courses – coordinating timings and presentation to a high standard.

Discretion, reliability, and the ability to work autonomously are essential. You should be comfortable working within a private home, adapting to the family’s rhythm, and maintaining the highest levels of cleanliness, organisation, and food safety at all times.

Why Join mymuybueno?

At mymuybueno, we represent only the most talented private chefs and household professionals. By joining our network, you benefit from

- Access to exclusive, high-calibre private households and clients who value quality and professionalism.
- A dedicated team that understands the unique dynamics of private service and advocates on your behalf.
- Opportunities for long-term placements and future roles as your career evolves.
- A culture built on integrity, discretion, and genuine care for both our clients and our candidates.

This particular family offers a respectful, low-drama environment for a chef who brings excellence, positive energy, and consistency to their kitchen.

Who You Are

You are an accomplished, hands-on chef with proven experience in private households, luxury hospitality, or high-end restaurants. You are as comfortable preparing wholesome, family-style dishes for the week as you are crafting beautifully presented menus for intimate gatherings. You are solutions-focused, calm under pressure, and able to take initiative without constant direction.

You should be based in Miami, have a flexible mindset to accommodate the family’s schedule within the agreed part-time hours, and be confident in planning, prep, and execution for both everyday meals and special occasions.

How to Apply

If you meet the requirements listed below and this opportunity resonates with you, please submit your CV detailing your relevant private household and culinary experience, along with a short cover note highlighting your cooking style, any dietary specialisms, and your availability for an ASAP start.

Applications are handled with complete discretion through mymuybueno. Shortlisted candidates will be contacted to discuss the role in more detail and to progress to client interview.
