Ongoing weekly household assistant – cleaning, laundry & meal prep
$300
Richmond VIC 3121, Australia
26th Apr 2026
Looking for a reliable household assistant once or twice per week. I’d suggest all tasks will take 6hrs per week. Tasks include: – Cleaning 2 bedroom apartment (kitchen, bathroom, floors, bedrooms, living area) – Washing and folding clothes – Grocery shopping (list provided OR meals provided) – Meal prep: 6 lunches + 6 dinners (I have certain dietary requirements but i can provide meal plans for you and you pick which recipe you’d like to cook each week. Ideally this would be 2-3 hours twice per week on Monday and Thursday. It would include apartment cleaning (if not done the last visit), washing as needed and meal prep of 3 lunches and dinners which can be done in the apartment or you can cook at yours and bring with you. This is an ongoing role, not a one-off task. I’ll provide clear instructions, recipes or meal ideas, and am easy to work with. Ideally suited to someone with experience in cleaning, meal prep, or household assistance. I’ve put budget as $300 as I expect it to take 6 hours per week at $50 per hour. Looking to start with a paid trial and continue long-term if it’s a good fit.
