I am so lucky that Arianna has responded to my posted task! I could not wish for a more efficient professional service. I cannot thank Arianna enough for her expertise, punctuality, quick turnaround, attention to detail, extreme patience, and above all, great sense of style. Arianna has been meeting every request of mine and asked every question promptly and in detail. She was never short of suggestions and explored every way of optimising solutions, although my kitchen layout was not a straightforward one. From the very beginning, I felt very confident in trusting Arianna to find the best option possible. Arianna's commitment to my project was as high as my own. I highly recommend Arianna for design and draft. I will not hesitate to come back to her in the future. Truly great job! Thank you Arianna! Elena

Cleaning and meal preparation
$150
Malvern East VIC 3145, Australia
18th Jul 2026
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. We have a big house with 5 rooms and 3 bathrooms, but not every room will need to be cleaned every time. Must like dogs, as we have a small mini dachshund - Milo - who will be at home with you (see picture).

Weekly Household Assistant – Meal Prep, Grocery Shopping & Light Housekeeping (2 hours/week) I’m looking for a reliable and trustworthy person to come to my one-bedroom apartment once a week for around 2 hours. The role will vary each week depending on what’s needed, but tasks may include: * Grocery shopping (usually every second week) * Healthy meal prep and cooking for the week, with a focus on high-protein meals * Putting on, hanging, folding and putting away laundry * Changing bed sheets * General tidying and organising * Vacuuming, mopping, sweeping and wiping down surfaces * Cleaning the bathroom when needed * Dusting and occasional cleaning of the couch/upholstery * Other light household tasks as required My apartment is generally kept quite tidy, so this isn’t a deep-cleaning role every week. I’m mainly looking for someone who can help keep on top of the household, prepare healthy meals and make life a little easier. I’m happy to work together on meal ideas and recipes, but I’d love someone who enjoys cooking and can help prepare a week’s worth of healthy, high-protein meals that support my fitness goals. I’m aiming to eat a balanced, protein-rich diet, so experience with healthy meal prep would be a bonus. Ideally, I’m looking for someone who is: * Reliable, punctual and trustworthy * Organised and efficient * Comfortable cooking healthy meals (or following recipes/meal plans) * Happy to adapt tasks depending on what needs doing each week I’m hoping to find someone for an ongoing weekly arrangement if we’re a good fit.

No beef or pork please. 💰 BUDGET Please quote your hourly or per-session rate (groceries on top). 📅 TIMING Weekday preferred, flexible on the day.

Weekly Meal Prep Cook Needed — 10–15 Large Meals Delivered
$250
Greensborough VIC 3088, Australia
30th May 2026
Looking for someone in Melbourne/Victoria to cook and deliver weekly bulk meals on Saturday or Sunday. I work long construction hours and need proper filling meals, not small diet meals or packaged gym-style meals. Looking for 10–15 large serves per week. High protein, decent carbs, vegetables, moderate salt. Meals like chicken and rice, beef and potatoes, pasta bakes, curries, chilli con carne, burrito bowls, stir-fries, slow-cooked beef, lamb, etc. Ideally meals would be around 700–900 calories each with 40g+ protein, but I don’t need perfect macro tracking. I mainly need big, fresh, healthy meals that are already put together and ready to reheat. Ongoing weekly work if the food is good. Please include examples/photos of meals you’ve cooked and your weekly price for 10–15 meals delivered.
Awesome service, beautiful fresh meals delivered, way better than going to other pre-packaged food companies and healthier!
