Bi-weekly meal prep (1x adult & 1x disabled teen)

$150

Springwood QLD 4127, Australia

22nd Feb 2026

Looking for a bi-weekly cook to assist with meals on the weeks I have my daughter (fortnightly - week on/week off). She is a disabled teen with specific eating habits, and I’m struggling to feed us both as I’m making seperate meals and the maintenance of it is difficult. Looking for someone to collect groceries (click & collect) and meal prep once a fortnight. I will provide containers to place it all in if you would be able to cook and organise, and deliver to my home. Mostly likely would be 4-5 main meals each (repeated meals ok - e.g. she eats spaghetti most days) and maybe some other foods prepped such as chopped fruit and to-go breakfast items?

Looking for a Weekly or Bi-Weekly Meal Prep (Seven Hills, Brisbane)

$150

Seven Hills QLD, Australia

21st Feb 2026

Hey! I’m based in Seven Hills, QLD, 4170. I’m looking for someone to help me out with meal prep either weekly or every second week — open to what works best. I’m happy for you to use my kitchen and equipment, or prep from your own place — whatever’s easier. I’ll provide the glass containers (not a fan of plastic), and I’m open to someone with a bit of experience who knows their way around a variety of meals. To be honest, I’m a bit of a fussy eater so I’d love someone who knows their way around the kitchen and can work with my taste buds! Just want good, clean meals that taste great and keep me on track. If that sounds like your thing, let’s chat.
