The cake that Maham delivered overnight was perfect! The fondant was not too sweet but soft and the kids loved it! The sponge cake was fresh and soft! Big thanks 😍

I had the pleasure of having Nina prepare meals for me for the week, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Nina was incredibly easy to deal with and her meals were not only delicious but also fresh and flavorful. Her attention to detail and culinary skills are truly commendable. I look forward to enjoying her amazing meals again in the future!

What do cooking services include?

You can hire a cook to provide food for a range of meals and occasions, from home cooking and meal prep to specialty cooking and even dinner party catering. You can arrange cooking services to happen in your own kitchen or your cook can bring the food ready-prepared. Your chef will take care of everything from buying ingredients to cleaning up. Here’s what you can expect depending on your cooking service:

Home cooking
Want fresh meals in your home? Your home chef can either offer regular home cooking services where they cook multiple nights per week, or provide a one-off meal if you just need occasional help. Your private chef will ask if you have any food preferences or intolerances, how many people they need to cook for, and what appliances and equipment they can use. They’ll usually plan the meals ahead of time, purchase the ingredients, and freshly cook the meals in your kitchen, and then clean up before they go.

Baking
Want to impress your best friend with an amazing cake for her birthday party? Or perhaps it’s your turn to bring some baking to work for morning tea? Hire a pastry chef or professional baker to create a cake, biscuits, muffins, or something else tasty. They’ll ask you how many people you’re baking for, any flavour preferences, and any special decorations you’d like. Your baker will bake at their place and deliver the finished product to your home or office once it’s ready.

Dinner party chef
If you’re planning a dinner party with friends, why not hire a dinner party chef to help take all the stress out of hosting? Your professional cook will contact you to confirm the number of guests, what courses/canapes you’d like, and whether the event is formal or informal. They’ll usually prepare most of the food where the event is being held (whether at your home or at a venue) and clean up the kitchen after they’re done.

Specialty cooking
Cooking paleo, vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free can be a challenge, whether it’s for yourself, a family member, or for an event you’re catering. Fortunately, many cooks are experienced with a range of different food requirements, including food intolerances, special diets, and allergies. When you hire a cook, they’ll choose recipes and ingredients that are suitable, confirming any dietary requirements before they get started. They’ll be careful to avoid cross-contamination if they’re preparing alternative meals for certain members of your family or party.

Meal preparation & planning
If you struggle to come up with meal ideas and always find yourself short of time throughout the week, why not hire a cook to prep your meals for the week? Your personal cook will confirm how many meals you’d like, the number of people, and if you have any preferences. They’ll choose meals that keep well and are easy to store, and taste great fresh or reheated. They’ll either prepare the food in your kitchen (cleaning up afterwards) or drop your freshly prepared meals off when they’re done, packaged and ready for the fridge or freezer.

Regular Housekeeping, Domestic Chores & Meal Preparation

$120

Seven Hills NSW, Australia

8th Sep 2026

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.
