I've thought of the obvious, cleaning houses, ironing, gardening, babysitting etc. What services as working parents do you need or think would be great? I'm wanting to work around my kids now they are at school. What jobs can I do that require minimal skills? Thanks in advance for your help.
Working parents, what services would you pay for or need?

Window cleaning
Healthy meals!
I had a guy on fb years ago before I had my baby who did bulk freezeable healthy family meals and use to deliver them around. He made a killing I would love to find a service like he had..
I was going to say cooked meals.
I had an idea to do slow cookers you prep them and drop them off and pick them up and wash and prep them again.
Simpler you could do a big reusable oven tray with a one off fee and fill it with a hot meal delivered. Healthy, filling, homemade with veggies and not too much premade additive sauces and flavours I would be a regular for sure!!
Ideally I would want someone to come into my home and clean, do a few loads of washing (hang them out on the line) and keep the dogs company one or two days a week for about 4 hours a day. I'd happily bring the washing in and maybe the next time you visited fold some of the washing ready for me to put away. It's what I struggle with the most. If you're in Melbourne I'd be keen!
I'd love someone to do my grocery shopping and prep meals!
I know they have all those online companies that you can buy prepped meals to be delivered and that you can grocery shop online but we live rurally and there's nothing like that available here. I hate grocery shopping with a passion and as much as I try to meal prep lunches and dinners a lot of the time I'm either too tired or don't have time.
I would love to have a place like a daycare centre but you can just drop your child off for an hour or so instead of all day while I head to an appointment or do Easter/Christmas shopping etc
I pay someone to do the stuff I hate. Cleaning the oven is the one at the moment, she's coming on Monday :)
