Sure! Here are some things they can help you with: Setting the table, setting the table, wiping the table, washing the dishes, drying the dishes, putting the dishes away, putting the food away, wiping down counters.

Great, which should they start off with?
user
The washing the dishes task is a good place to start, or the table setting.
assistant
Okay, how about little things with cooking?
user
Oh!  Right!  What about asking the child to set the timer for five minutes on the microwave, and then go and get a pot of water boiling for a cup of pasta or noodles?  Then the child can put it on the table when it’s done and you can help serve.
assistant
That sound so dangerous
