TYS Recruitment is looking for an exceptional, adaptable, and health-conscious Private Household Chef to join a lovely, active American couple at their primary residence in Miami, Florida.
This is a shore-based, live-in position tailored for a culinary professional who thrives in high-end private households, maintains a yachting standard of presentation, and loves the dynamic nature of seasonal travel. The principals keep an active lifestyle—think lean proteins, fresh fish, and local seafood prepared with creative variety and immaculate plating.
The family spends their winters enjoying their Miami property, winters/springs in Aspen, and their summer season enjoying the Mediterranean, splitting time between land estates in Saint-Tropez and Mykonos. While the family owns a vessel, this role is strictly land-based, with no cooking required onboard.
