Find out how savvy parents ace it with Airtasker! 

Hair trimming

Taking your kids to a hairdresser may seem easy task, but not if you’re too occupied wrapping things up after all the holiday festivities. 

No need to worry about getting out of the house for their haircut. Instead, get a hairdresser and have your kids’ hair trimmed and tidied at your place for maximum convenience. 

After-school care and pick-up

Life can be a bit demanding sometimes, so it’s okay if parents can’t make that after-school pick-up. Thankfully, after-school care and pick-up services are things you can request on the Airtasker. 

You can dictate the schedule and terms and find a responsible Tasker to pick up your children and ensure they get home safely. Taskers can also keep an eye on your kids until you come home. Hiring someone to pick up and watch after your kids is not just assistance; it’s also peace of mind. 

Sewing uniforms

Ensure your kids’ school uniforms fit right and are ready for the new term. You can contact a sewing expert for uniform hem alterations. They can pick up the school uniforms and drop them off on the same day if needed. You can also ask them to sew on the name tags if you haven’t done it yet. 

Of course, you can book a sewing expert for any alterations or clothing repairs you can’t or have no time to do yourself, like cuffing jeans, shortening trousers, mending holes and repairing zippers. 

After-school lessons for kids

Consider engaging your kids in after-school activities to keep them away from screens. 

Hiring an academic tutor can guide them in their school work, especially in challenging subjects.

You can also look into private lessons or add extracurriculars to their schedule to keep everything fun and productive. Here are a few ideas:

• Sign them up for painting classes and see their inner artist unfold. Not only can it hone their creativity, but they can also get to express themselves through art.
• Put them up to the challenge and enrol them in chess lessons. This activity will exercise their critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
• Get their bodies moving with karate sessions. Talk to professional instructors who can teach them self-defence and the foundations of this sport.

Preparing meals

The end and start of the year can be a crazy time at home, work, and school. There may be days when work could take up much of your day, and you won’t have the time to cook meals at home. 

The good news is that Taskers can handle the cooking during these times! From decent home cooking to meal preparation and planning, you can have a week’s worth of lunches or dinners for the whole family.

Tidying up the house 

Mornings can be a chaotic time, so leaving a trail of mess is out of the question. Skip sacrificing your weekends for cleaning – let Taskers back you up, ensuring your home stays spick-and-span effortlessly! 

• When your home starts to look a wee bit messy, it may be time to declutter. Taskers can help sort items that no longer spark joy to free up space around the house.
• Now that school’s back, books and supplies are probably lying around here and there. Kick off the academic year and hire an expert organiser who can arrange all your kids’ school essentials in the best way possible.
• Have professional cleaners come by weekly or fortnightly to keep your home’s nook and cranny spotless.

Maintaining your car

Is your car looking rough this start of the year? Apart from the house, pets, kids, and work, you also need to check your car and give it what it needs. 

Hire someone experienced to give it a good washing and cleaning. Taskers can clean your vehicle’s interiors and exteriors for its much-needed deep cleaning. 

For annual maintenance checks, contact a mobile mechanic to run diagnostics and see if there are any problems or repairs that require immediate attention. Check your car’s overall health and get it ready for work trips and school pick-ups in no time! 

Taking care of the pets

You can always depend on Taskers to take care of your pets when you’re busy tending to your family. 

If you’ll be gone for a few days for work, you can entrust your pets to a pet sitter. They’ll ensure your furry best friend eats their meals and goes on walks, like their usual routine. 

Don’t have time to hop on the car and go to the groomers? Call a mobile dog grooming service and schedule a complete grooming package, from bathing to trimming, so they remain neat and clean. 

Give yourself a break

You don’t have to get everything done by yourself. Give your to-do list a final look and get some deep breaths in. You’re going to be fine. Know the things you can do and let Taskers take care of the rest!
