“Our family feels so grateful that Aviyah is in our lives. As a personal chef, she has been very adaptive to changing specialized diets.

"Aviyah’s contribution to our family has gone through many stages. Teaching our teenager to find balance-and timing in the meals she makes while supporting her creative exploration. Drawing out our 8 year old and including him in as much or as little as he enjoys, has allowed his gentle exploration into cooking. She also supports our families busy schedule by making food for our week and reserves for our freezer. She moves in and out of our home in a gentle and seamless way. We have enjoyed working with her a great deal. "

"Aviyah posses that unique combination of talent in the kitchen and talent working with children. In the 4 years Aviyah has worked with my family she has been invaluable in so many ways, from helping cater diners and parties to basic meal prep. She also has done an incredible job at introducing and teaching cooking and baking to my two young sons. My 4 year old loves nothing more than to bake with Aviyah – thanks to her patient tutelage he can measure ingredients, break eggs, mix and scoop. Thanks to Aviyah, my children have been introduced to a variety of cuisines from different cultures, all of which come with a focus on healthy eating. Aviyah is a true gem!"
