About the role

We're a busy family with four children in Schomberg looking for a warm, reliable family assistant to help our household run smoothly. This is a versatile, hands-on role — some days lean toward cooking and keeping the house tidy, others toward helping with the kids.

A professional cleaning service handles the deep clean once a week, so this role is lighter on cleaning and more about everyday support. We're looking for someone trustworthy, great with children, and happy to pitch in wherever the day needs it.

What you'll do

Cooking & meal prep
Prepare healthy, high-quality meals for the family
Weekly meal prep so there's always good food ready to go
Prepare kids' snacks
Tidy and reset the kitchen after cooking

Light housekeeping & laundry
Tidy and reset rooms and shared spaces
Load and unload the dishwasher, and wash up after meals
Take out garbage and recycling
Laundry — washing, folding, and putting away
Keep things organized between the weekly deep cleans

Childcare
Supervise, play with, and engage the children
Help with their meals, snacks, and daily routines
Drive to and from school or activities as needed
Keep the day running so parents can focus on work





Who we're looking for
Experience caring for children, plus comfort with cooking and home organization
Warm, patient, and genuinely good with kids
Reliable, honest, and able to work independently with little supervision
Robust time management and comfortable in a busy family home
Your own reliable vehicle — we're on a rural property with limited transit
References required, and you'll need to explicit a vulnerable sector (police) check
First aid/CPR and food handling knowledge are a plus
