Basic kitchen help for dinner party

$25

Professional, courteous and efficient - Elaine and Terry were a fantastic addition to our recent party. Elaine was in contact immediately following task assignment and made the time to discuss the event a few days prior. Elaine and Terry took care of everything for us and no task was too large or small. Elaine is clearly very experienced and she and Terry kept all plates and glasses full, everything clean and tidy, and took initiative on all required tasks, not just what had been asked. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again! Thanks Elaine and Terry for making the evening so easy

We're working on a charity brand we've built called Full Bellies, it's a self-heating lunchbox that goes toward feeding and supporting kids in need. We're doing a quick product shoot today and were hoping to use someone’s kitchen for a couple of hours as a backdrop. We wouldn't be using any of the appliances or facilities at all just the space itself. Two of us, a camera, and the product. In and out, everything left exactly as we found it

Kitchen clean-up + party support (40th birthday dinner at home)

$150

Botanic Ridge VIC 3977, Australia

1st Jul 2026

I’m looking for someone to help with kitchen clean-up and tidying at a relaxed 40th birthday dinner at my home. Hours are 6pm–9pm (3 hours). Main tasks include clearing dishes after dinner, loading/unloading the dishwasher, hand washing where needed, wiping kitchen benches, and keeping the kitchen tidy throughout the evening. Most items will be disposable. This is not a cooking role — all food will already be prepared (spit roast meats and salads). I may also need occasional help keeping drinks topped up for guests (soft drinks, champagne/beer) if needed. The aim is simply to take pressure off me as the host so I can enjoy the night with guests. Must be comfortable working in a busy social home environment. Previous hospitality or event experience is preferred but not essential.

Kacie was super lovely and respectful. She did as I needed without me needing to interfere, and she did a great job. Highly recommended 💜
