About the role
We're a family in Oak Bay looking for a warm, reliable lunch supervisor and cook for our two children (ages 7 and 9) at our home-based schoolhouse. This is a perfect role for a parent of school-aged kids, a retiree, a culinary student, or anyone wanting steady, meaningful hours that end by 1:30 p.m. You'll plan and cook healthy lunches the kids genuinely eat, share the midday break with them, and get them outside to burn off energy before afternoon lessons — then head home. It's a small, friendly, consistent environment: the same two kids, every day, all year. What your day looks like
- 11:00 – 12:00: Grocery run (2–3 days a week) and lunch prep — simple, healthy, kid-approved meals you plan and shop for within a set weekly budget
- 12:00 – 12:50: The kids' school break — serve lunch, sit and eat with them, then take them outside for fresh air and active play
- 12:50 – 1:30: Kitchen cleanup and reset, stock check, and light prep so tomorrow's lunch is easy

- Plan a weekly rotating menu of healthy lunches for two children
- Shop for groceries within an agreed budget; submit receipts for reimbursement

- You can reliably commute to Oak Bay Monday to Friday for an 11:00 a.m. start
- Comfortable being outdoors in Victoria weather every day
