$55

Glebe, New South Wales

11th Jul 2026

From 7.30am to 9am, at our place in Glebe, we could use some help with nannying our 1 year old and cooking/meal prep. Some days it'll be more nannying and some days more cooking. The nannying could involve nappy changes, dressing, feeding breakfast, and playing while my husband and I get ourselves ready. The cooking could include chopping vegetables, washing and cooking rice, roasting things in the oven, cooking simple meals. All ingredients and tools will be provided. We're looking for help on Mondays, Thursdays and/or Fridays currently and will need to increase this to every weekday once our next baby arrives in early 2027. If you can only do some days, that's ok, perhaps two or three people can cover the days we need. The budget set is for the entire 1.5hrs, and is negotiable.
