- What is your expertise?
My expertise is in what is called functional organization. Functional organization is organization that helps a home function better and makes things easier to find, but does not worry about perfection. Basically reducing clutter so you can find what you need when you need it. I love helping busy people to learn the steps to getting organized without feeling overwhelmed, as well as coming alongside them with ideas to use items they already have, and new items, to make their home function better for their family. This includes downsizing too, as I love hearing people’s stories as we work to go through their items, paring down, and packing boxes before moving into senior housing. - What do you charge?
My fees are now done in packages to make the process easier for you. In-person and virtual sessions are priced differently. Your fee and hours needed is determined during your consultation and then a contract is signed before the first session. You can see more information on my packages, jump on over here: https://bit.ly/3zYVbSF - When do I pay for your services?
My services are paid as packages at the beginning. If you need to add more time, we will discuss and sign a contract addendum at that time. You always know upfront what your cost for the organization will be, and I operate within your predetermined budget for any organization items I purchase for you. - How much participation do I have in the organization process? Will you do it all for me?
Your amount of participation depends on your needs and desires. This is part of what is discussed in your free consultation. I can do all of the organizing part for you, from pulling everything out and sorting it, to putting it back in and purchasing your bins and other organization items. Or, you can work along with me and we go through the process together. Either way, except trash and other obvious items, the client goes through the items and decides what to keep or give away. Although, I have tips that help with this process as well. - What’s the difference between this and a house cleaner?
A house cleaner cleans what is already there. While some natural cleaning happens during my work, wiping down shelves, sweeping, etc., my job is to help you declutter and get things organized so everything has a “home” and it is easier to find what you need in the future. - What is virtual organization? How does a session work?
A virtual organization session works slightly differently in the process, only because it is virtual. We have a video call (it can be on Zoom, Google Meet, or Skype). The client shows me their space (we always work on one room at a time) and we discuss how they would like to use the space and what is already there. I will give ideas for how to make things function better and what tools could be used that either they already have or could be purchased. I can remain online with them through the process or not, and I can even purchase some items for them, if they would like. If they choose not to have me available throughout the process, then I check back in regularly to offer help and see how things are progressing. Some people find this is enough and others choose to book another virtual session, or two, along the way.
