Find an experienced cook in Inner South Melbourne

Hello We're a family of 7 looking for someone to help with dinners around 4-6 nights per week. We've been relying on takeaway lately and are hoping to get back into healthier, home-cooked meals! What we're looking for ------------------------- - Healthy, balanced meals, high in protein and veggies, without being too carb-heavy or restrictive - Some variety in meals and cuisines, though we're happy to repeat favourites! - Ideally, someone who can take the lead on meal planning, with our input on preferences, dislikes, etc. - Potentially expanding to lunches and snacks down the track. We're very flexible on how this works ----------------------------------------- I think we'd prefer batch cooking rather than daily visits, but we're open to suggestions. You're welcome to cook at ours or yours, and we're happy to do a little finishing off before dinner. As for groceries, you can manage them yourself, or we can organize purchasing/delivery. Whatever works best! Budget: --------- The listed budget is just a rough estimate. Happy to discuss and adjust depending on the number of meals, what's included, etc. If you're interested, we'd love to hear about your experience, what arrangements work best for you, and what you'd charge. Ideally, we'd start with a trial week and continue regularly if it's a good fit. Thanks! :)

We are looking for a housekeeper to come for 3-4 hours per week to clean the house and do a bit of meal preparation. On a weekly basis the tasks will vary, and may include making 1-2 meals (we will share detailed recipes), washing and changing sheets, cleaning the fridge, cleaning the oven, doing the dishes as well as standard cleaning tasks etc. We will pay based on hours spent each week, but expect it to be around 3-4 hours.
