Weekly Dinner Prep for Busy Ottawa Home

I am honestly overwhelmed with the new job schedule and I really need help getting ahead on healthy dinners, especially since the traffic getting home in Ottawa's rush hour is just crazy and I'm too tired to cook.

I live in a townhome near the Glebe, and my kitchen is well-equipped, but I just don't have the time or energy to chop and cook after a long day of work; it's the prep work that kills me, not the actual heating up of the food, so that's where I need you to focus your skills.

We're looking for someone to come in once a week, maybe on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon for about 3-4 hours, to get lunches and dinners ready for the next few days for my family of four.

The scope of work would involve following a simple meal plan I provide, focusing on things like washing and chopping all the vegetables, portioning and marinating proteins, prepping grains like rice or quinoa, and generally setting up ingredients so that the final cooking steps take less than 15 minutes each evening.

I have a lot of storage containers and all the necessary knives and appliances, and I’ll make sure the fridge is clear and ready for you to work efficiently.

I’m hoping to find someone who is very clean and organized because kitchen hygiene is super important to me, and you’d be responsible for making sure the workspace is spotless before you leave.

Thank you so much for considering this request; it would make a huge difference to our stress levels!
