We’re a busy family of 3 – husband, wife and our toddler daughter – and we’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy and practical person to provide ongoing household help 2–3 times per week. We both work full-time and our daughter is in care 5 days a week. We’re looking for someone who can genuinely help take some of the day-to-day domestic load off our shoulders. This is not a deep-cleaning job. We’d like someone who is happy to work through a rotating list of household priorities depending on what needs doing that day. Tasks may include: * Laundry – washing, hanging out, bringing in and folding clothes * Putting away laundry and generally keeping things organised * Dishes / loading and unloading dishwasher * Changing bed sheets * Vacuuming and mopping floors * Wiping down kitchen, bathroom and other surfaces * Dusting * General tidying and household reset * Helping organise and rearrange pantry, kitchen and bathroom cupboards, wardrobes etc. * Light meal preparation / cooking * Preparing nutritious, toddler-friendly meals and snacks – particularly helpful if you enjoy cooking and have experience with fussy toddlers! We’re looking for someone who is proactive and comfortable looking around and identifying what needs doing, rather than needing detailed instructions for every little task. Ideally, we’d love to find someone who can become a regular part of our weekly routine and who takes pride in their work. Frequency: 2–3 times per week Hours: Ideally around 3 hours per visit, but open to discussing what works best. We’re a friendly, respectful family and are looking for someone dependable, honest, caring and comfortable working around a toddler and a busy family home. Please tell us a little about yourself, your availability, experience with housekeeping/domestic assistance and your hourly rate.

Looking for someone to meal prep twice a week for a busy family of 4 - 2 adults and 2 kids. High protein meals cooked fresh for 3 days at a time.

I’m looking for a reliable, experienced cook for an ongoing weekly arrangement. The role is straightforward: shop for high-quality organic groceries, prepare healthy whole-food meals for the week, portion them into containers, and leave the kitchen clean and organised. * Approximately 8-10 hours per week, split across two sessions. * Ongoing arrangement rather than a one-off task. * $60–75 per hour depending on experience. * Groceries reimbursed separately. * Shopping to be handled by you. * Ingredients will need to be organic. * You will shop at farmers markets, organic grocers, quality butchers and other appropriate suppliers. * Cooking style will be healthy, simple and ingredient-focused rather than elaborate restaurant food. * Good quality proteins, vegetables, slow-cooked dishes & nutritious meals that store & reheat well. * Meals portioned into glass vacuum-sealed containers that I will provide * Strong attention to cleanliness, food safety & kitchen organisation is a MUST. Some flexibility with location is important, as I will be moving around a bit. You would be cooking in my home kitchen. I’m looking for someone who can eventually work independently: We agree on the menu, you handle the shopping and preparation, and have the fridge stocked for the week, without me needing to micromanage the process. Professional kitchen, catering, private-chef or substantial meal-prep experience is very strongly preferred. Equally important is reliability, good judgement with ingredients, efficiency and an understanding of healthy whole-food cooking. I’d like to start with a paid trial session of 4 to 5 hours. If we’re a good fit, we can establish a regular weekly arrangement. Please reply with: * Your cooking / chef experience. * Your general availability. * Which parts of inner Melbourne you can travel to. * Examples or photos of the type of food you cook, if available. * Whether you are comfortable doing the grocery shopping as part of the role.
