Healthy Meal Prep Help - weekly

$100

Port Melbourne VIC, Australia

10th Apr 2026

I’m looking for someone to help with healthy home style meal prep for our family (myself, my husband, and 8 month old daughter- baby doesn’t really much by way of solids yet!). I am hoping to organise a weekly session, where I can source the ingredients, and we can agree upon simple recipes, and you can cook and store away some meals, to be refrigerated and or frozen. What I’m looking for: - Weekly session - Prepare 2-4 serves for 3-5 meals per session (lunches/dinners) - Focus on high-protein, lower-calorie meals (e.g. chicken, fish, lean meats, vegetables) - Simple, nutritious, not heavy or overly processed - Boxing up of the meals into containers, ready to be stored in fridge + freezer - Light clean/tidy up of the kitchen after use (we also have a fortnightly cleaner, so this should only involve the clean up from your cooking session) Logistics: - Location: Port Melbourne - Frequency: once per week - Ideal time/day: Wednesday late morning/early afternoon - Can be done in my kitchen with clean up please - I will cover the cost of groceries separately - Open to meal plan ideas, or I can pick out recipes, happy to be flexible and discuss exact details Ideal person: Reliable, organised, clean in the kitchen, care around hand hygiene Looking for someone ongoing if we are a good fit. Please share your ideas and interest :)

Weekly Meal Prep – Simple Cooking, Strict Requirements

$75

Abbotsford VIC, Australia

8th Apr 2026

I need someone to do weekly meal prep, roughly 3-4 hours per session. The cooking itself is straightforward, but I have specific dietary and medical needs that must be followed exactly. What you'd be doing: - Cooking chicken breast (never thighs), roasting/steaming frozen vegetables, and preparing sweet potato or brown rice - Portioning into containers with olive oil - Ensuring the kitchen is thoroughly cleaned afterwards, no cross-contamination, no stray ingredients left out - Locking the fridge after you're done (I'll explain the setup) Requirements: - I have coeliac disease, so everything must be strictly gluten free. You either need a gluten-free kitchen or be willing to prep at my house - I have additional dietary restrictions I'll walk you through. They're detailed but not complicated if you follow instructions - You need to understand basic food safety and hygiene - Reliability and punctuality matter a lot. I need you to arrive at agreed times, not earlier or later. Access to the house is via a specific setup I'll explain, and the fridge must be locked when you leave (medical reason, non-negotiable) - You must be comfortable checking in with me before cooking each time, even if you've made the same thing before. I'll confirm exactly what to prepare and how What I'm looking for in a person: - Organised and detail-oriented - Comfortable following precise instructions rather than improvising - Good communicator who will ask questions rather than assume The actual cooking is simple. The important part is that you follow the plan exactly as discussed. Happy to walk you through everything before your first session.
