Aunty Ali has grown, and I’m at the point where I need some help behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.
I'm looking for someone who’s organised, good with numbers, and can keep things on track… and gently keep me accountable when I avoid the boring stuff.

🧾 Bookings, Invoicing & Admin Coordinator (WFH, flexible)

I’m looking for a calm, organised and reliable person to support the day-to-day running of Aunty Ali.

This is an important role. It keeps everything moving behind the scenes so I can focus on client work 💙

The role will start with invoicing and admin support, and grow over time into bookings and client coordination as you become familiar with the business.

🧾 What you’ll be doing

To start with:
- Invoicing and basic accounts tasks (training provided by my current bookkeeper)
- General admin and coordination support

As the role grows:
- Chatting with new clients (text, phone, email)
- Booking jobs and coordinating my team
- Matching the right worker to the right client
- Following up enquiries and keeping things moving

🌼 About the work
We support people in their homes with:
- Decluttering and organisation
- Hoarding & squalor support
- Moving house services (packing, unpacking and coordination)
- Deceased estates/downsizing
- Support work (NDIS and private clients)

It’s meaningful, practical work with real people, often in complex or vulnerable situations ♥️

💡 You’ll suit this if you:
* Are warm, grounded and professional in your communication
* Are highly organised and reliable
* Have strong attention to detail and are comfortable with numbers
* Can communicate confidently via phone and text
* Are open to learning and growing into a broader role over time
* Can problem solve and work independently
* Can stay calm and flexible when plans change
* Are comfortable nudging and keeping things on track when needed
* Experience in admin, bookings or coordination is ideal.
* NDIS or MYOB experience is a bonus, but not essential.

💰 The details
* Subcontractor role (ABN required)
* Work from home
* Flexible, family-friendly hours
* Starting at approximately 5–10 hours per week, with room to grow

$40–$60/hr depending on experience and how independently you can run things.
Starting rate will reflect experience, with room to grow as responsibilities increase.

🤍 The important bit:
You’ll be working with clients who may be overwhelmed or vulnerable.
Kindness, common sense and emotional intelligence really matter in this role.

Send me a message and tell me a bit about you, your experience, and why this role feels like a good fit.

This was me today… capable in so many areas of life, and completely overwhelmed by something small.

I’m great at a lot of things.
People, crisis support, running a business, getting things done… I’ve got that.

But give me unfamiliar tech, detailed admin, or something that needs to be “just right”… and suddenly I’m questioning everything 😅

Today was one of those days.

A bit of overwhelm, a few tears, walking away and coming back…
that “why is this so hard?” feeling.

But also…

• asking for help
• sticking with it
• getting it done

Not perfectly. But properly.

I think we forget that being capable doesn’t mean everything comes easily.

Sometimes it just means you keep going… even when your brain is saying “nope” and you’d rather do literally anything else.

Tell me I’m not the only one 😅

Big love,
Ali 💛

There really is nothing we won’t do. If it’s helpful, and we can physically do it, we will.

Maureen was assisting a regular client in the Sutherland Shire when a juvenile red-bellied black snake decided to make an appearance in the backyard.

Maureen and the client stayed calm and worked together to secure the situation, making sure everyone was safe and caught the young trouble maker.

This is what our team does. We adapt. We stay steady. We help people through whatever turns up on the day, even when that “whatever” has scales and a red belly.

Huge respect to Maureen for her calm head, and to our client for working alongside her so well.

Aunty Ali team. Practical help, human care, and yes, occasionally wildlife management 🐍💙❤️

As the year comes to a close, I just want to say thank you!

Thank you to our clients who trusted us with their homes and their stories.

Thank you to our community for the referrals, encouragement, check-ins, and quiet support behind the scenes.

And thank you to my incredible team and the volunteers who show up with compassion, humour, and a willingness to do the work, even when the work is tough.

This before and after is one that means a lot to me. A gentleman’s home that myself and a small group of volunteers have been helping to gently and respectfully clean up. Not just a house reset, but dignity, safety, and hope being restored step by step.

I am so proud of what we have done together this year 💕

We are now taking a short break to rest and reset. The team and I will be back on board on Monday 12 January and ready for the year ahead.

Wishing you all a safe, gentle, and well-earned end to the year. With much love,

Aunty Ali ❤️🩵🎄

🎄 A Huge Thank You! 🎄

A big heartfelt thank you to everyone who donated new or near-new items during your decluttering sessions. Lots of little gifts were donated to our friends at Sydney Food Share to be included in their Christmas hampers.

Your generosity means these hampers will not only feed families in need but also bring a little extra sparkle and cheer this Christmas. ✨

It’s amazing what we can do together as a community. ❤️

A massive thanks to Murf & Belle for giving up their time yesterday to come and help someone they've never met.

We removed around 30 bags of rubbish and recycling, emptied the fridge and freezer, tidied, sorted, scrubbed and vacuumed. It felt so good!!

Last night I visited this lovely gentleman to take him a few items I found that I thought would be useful and some DVDs he'd asked for. He was super happy with how things were going and was both shocked and delighted at the after pics. I had to tell him we aren't finished yet!
He was almost lost for words, but expressed how grateful he is.

With encouragement, he's applying for a home care package and is talking to a social worker. I'll be having a chat with them too so I can pass on my thoughts for what's needed to help this gentleman going forward.

Here's what I'm hoping to achieve in stage 2:

Cleaning:
* Kitchen cupboard emptying, cleaning, reorganising.
* Fridge needs a scrub
* Dishes need washing (previous cockroach infestation).
* Vacuuming
* Broken appliances to bin room for Ewaste collection
* Bathroom - more scrubbing
* Lightbulbs replaced (tall ladder on site)

Stage 3:
* Furniture needs moving around to allow walker access.
* Clothes/towels washing
* Long curtains sourced & rods need installing as there are none. Previously he has tried to stick cardboard over the windows to block out the light. The windows are high as you can see in the pics, but there's a tall ladder on site. Most important is the bedroom so he can sleep better.
* Source and replace bathroom shelves/shaving cabinet.
* Clean balcony

Stage 4:
* source a chest of drawers (to be delivered) as there is no clothes storage at all.
* Source standing floor lamp for living room as it's a very dark room.
* Source tall bedside table for next to hospital bed.
* Source single bed quilt cover
* Make bed w fresh linen
* Basics supermarket shop (milk, bread, fruit, simple meals, toilet paper etc)
* Last touches!

If you have handy skills, love a good clean, can pick up furniture etc, please get in touch. Thanks legends! 🩵❤️

Help Wanted – Supporting an Older Gentleman in Need

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently been referred an older gentleman who really needs our help. He’s currently in respite care and can’t return home until his apartment is cleaned and organised. I’ve started helping, but the job is bigger than one person.

He has no family or friends to call on, and while collecting some of his personal items, it became clear that he needs much more support.

I’ll be heading over again on Tuesday to clear out his fridge so I can switch it off — he’s struggling to pay his electricity bill and has been having cold showers (all through winter). The apartment is up a flight of stairs in Camperdown, and I’m hoping for a helper or two to assist in taking some bagged-up recycling down to the bins, removing rubbish etc.

Even an hour of help would make a big difference. Over the next few weeks, we’ll also need to do some decluttering, cleaning, organising, and replacing small items like bedding and pillows, so if you can’t make it Tuesday, but would like to help in another way, please send me a DM.

Thank you so much — every bit of kindness counts. 💛

✨ Welcome to our new(ish) team member, Liz! ✨

Now… I tried to keep this part quiet, but some of you may notice a resemblance. Liz is actually my sister! After 5 years of gentle persuasion, she finally joined the Aunty Ali team.

Liz works mostly in our Hoarding & Squalor team, bringing her upbeat personality, kind heart, sense of humour, and—most importantly—her completely non-judgemental approach. She’s already making a huge difference for people who may have felt too scared or embarrassed to seek help and let someone into their homes.

We’re so lucky to have her on board.

At Aunty Ali, we’re all about bringing back the village—the kind of community where good neighbours look out for each other, share a laugh, and lend a hand when needed.

To celebrate that spirit, I just hosted a Christmas in July party in the driveway of our little community. I was thrilled when everyone was able to come!

Despite our regular waves and hellos, this night was something special. We shared delicious food, listened to music, sat around a cosy fire, and had real, heartwarming conversations that helped us truly get to know each other.

It was one of those simple but magical evenings—and we all agreed it shouldn’t be the last.

Here’s to community, connection, and more nights like this one. 💛

🌍✈️ Woohoo! I'm off on a European adventure! 🇪🇸🇵🇹🇬🇧🇹🇷

After a big week of packing, planning and prepping, it's time to take a breath and prepare myself for the mother of all flights (3 actually 😵‍💫). I cannot wait to arrive and to soak up all the delights of Spain, Portugal, London and Istanbul. I'm so excited for the people, culture, the food, and a little well-earned time out.

While I’ll still be checking in from time to time, please know there may be a little delay in replies. I’ve left all the rest in the safe and capable hands of my wonderful team, who’ll continue to keep things running smoothly while I’m away.

I shy away from taking selfies in public (hence the suitcase pic), but will be sure to show you a few of my fav things once I'm there.

Adios por ahora! See you on 3 July!
Aunty Ali ❤️💙

There’s a special kind of joy I feel when someone tells me they’ve done a load of laundry without feeling overwhelmed.

What might seem like a small task to many can feel completely unmanageable when life is chaotic or emotionally heavy. I work with people who are often stuck, not because they don’t care, but because the barriers are deeper—emotional, psychological, or even just years of burnout.

Through gentle listening, reading between the lines, and understanding the psychology beneath the clutter, I help people take small, meaningful steps. It’s never just about laundry—it’s about giving someone the tools and the confidence to reclaim control over their environment.

Each time someone starts to feel calmer in their space, each time a room becomes a little safer or more welcoming, I feel that reward deep in my heart. This is why I do what I do. Because when someone feels more at peace in their home, relationships shift, moods lift, and life starts to feel a little more possible again.

It’s a privilege to walk alongside people on that journey—and I’m always learning, always growing, always humbled by the transformation that happens when we meet people exactly where they are ❤️💙
