Casual household help + occasional babysitting

Hi! I’m a single dad with two daughters (5 & 8) who are with me 50% of the time. They’re both very creative and energetic, and I’m looking for a reliable, practical person to help keep the house running smoothly so I can be more present with them.

I’m after someone on a casual, ongoing basis to help with a weekly “house reset”. This would usually be 1–2 hours per week to start, with flexibility either side.

Tasks might include:

• Tidying up and putting things back in their place

• Washing dishes or unpacking the dishwasher

• Folding or putting away clean laundry

• Light room resets and general organisation

• Occasional personal assistant–type errands, like picking up birthday presents or small items

There may also be occasional ad-hoc babysitting, if you’re open to it, but the core of the role is household help rather than childcare.

The role will likely start regularly from late January, as my current helper is moving interstate, though there may be a few opportunities before then.

I’m looking for someone who’s organised, trustworthy, and happy to work independently once shown the ropes. If you enjoy creating calm, tidy spaces and helping a family function a little more smoothly, I’d love to hear from you and see if it’s a good fit 🙂
