Regular Housekeeping, Domestic Chores & Meal Preparation
$120
Seven Hills NSW, Australia
8th Sep 2026
We’re a busy family of 3 – husband, wife and our toddler daughter – and we’re looking for a reliable, trustworthy and practical person to provide ongoing household help 2–3 times per week. We both work full-time and our daughter is in care 5 days a week. We’re looking for someone who can genuinely help take some of the day-to-day domestic load off our shoulders. This is not a deep-cleaning job. We’d like someone who is happy to work through a rotating list of household priorities depending on what needs doing that day. Tasks may include: * Laundry – washing, hanging out, bringing in and folding clothes * Putting away laundry and generally keeping things organised * Dishes / loading and unloading dishwasher * Changing bed sheets * Vacuuming and mopping floors * Wiping down kitchen, bathroom and other surfaces * Dusting * General tidying and household reset * Helping organise and rearrange pantry, kitchen and bathroom cupboards, wardrobes etc. * Light meal preparation / cooking * Preparing nutritious, toddler-friendly meals and snacks – particularly helpful if you enjoy cooking and have experience with fussy toddlers! We’re looking for someone who is proactive and comfortable looking around and identifying what needs doing, rather than needing detailed instructions for every little task. Ideally, we’d love to find someone who can become a regular part of our weekly routine and who takes pride in their work. Frequency: 2–3 times per week Hours: Ideally around 3 hours per visit, but open to discussing what works best. We’re a friendly, respectful family and are looking for someone dependable, honest, caring and comfortable working around a toddler and a busy family home. Please tell us a little about yourself, your availability, experience with housekeeping/domestic assistance and your hourly rate.

Monthly In-Home Meal Prep / Batch Cooking
$320
Vaucluse NSW 2030, Australia
1st Sep 2026
PLEASE NOTE: I previously posted this task on Airtasker and received a number of offers, but unfortunately lost access to my account before I was able to assign the job. I’m still looking to have this done and am reposting the task. If you made an offer on my previous listing and are still interested, please feel free to make an offer again — I’d be very happy to hear from you. This is intended to be ongoing work approximately once per month for the right person. Looking for someone reliable and experienced with meal prep/batch cooking to come to my home in Vaucluse once per month and prepare approximately 48 meals. All ingredients, recipes, quantities, cooking equipment and kitchen facilities will be provided. There is no shopping or meal planning required — the role is simply to prepare and portion the meals according to the provided instructions. Each monthly session involves: 24 × chicken meals, each containing: * 250 g grilled chicken breast * 1 whole sweet potato (cubed and baked in oven) * ¼ white onion * ⅙ red capsicum * Handful of spinach * 10 g walnuts 24 × dinner meals, each containing: * 450 g protein — 6 salmon, 6 barramundi, 6 kangaroo and 6 turkey breast * ½ cup cooked French lentils * ½ cup cooked tri-colour quinoa * 1½ cups mixed peas, corn and carrots * 1 tsp extra-virgin olive oil after cooking Everything will need to be cooked, portioned into individual meals and the kitchen cleaned afterwards. The cooking itself takes approximately 5–6 hours once familiar with the process, but I would allow around 7 hours for the first session, particularly while learning the workflow. I’m looking for someone who is reliable and interested in ongoing work approximately once per month Ideally looking for someone who can start this week. If the first session goes well, I’d like to have the same person return each month and make the process very consistent.
