Going rate for Private chefs who did not go to culinary school
I have been working for a family for 2 years cooking every night, good meals and cleaning up and taking care of the kids. Lately they have been transitioning my role to private chefs for girls weekends at second home, private chefs when their friends and families come to their house forThe weekend. I shop, prepare and clean up. I have cooked for as many at 14 to 7. This is all outside of my weekday job with them. All weekends in NYC and at their second home in Virginia. They pay me $25/hour for this service that they consider overtime.
There is no child care during the weekends.
I have been doing research and it looks like $450 to $675 is what AI says.
The meals are creative, I love to cook. They are always happy with my service.
I have to speak to my employer. What should I be asking for— per person ? Per meal?
Any help would be most appreciated.
