My passion for decluttering and arranging homes has led me to this new career in home organization. As a prior behavior therapist working with children, I can help find age-appropriate organizational systems to encourage their independent clean-up time. With a keen eye for detail and an innate sense of order, I am dedicated to creating efficient storage solutions and stylish displays for the entire family. My goal is to assist others in achieving a sense of calm and control in their home. I believe effective communication is key, whether working with others or independently. I have four years of experience cleaning and maintaining homes and helping pack and unpack storage, including garage organization. I have experience organizing paper solutions and am currently studying photo and digital photo organization. Home organization is something very personal to each person and it brings me joy to be a part of the transformation in each client. Decluttering can also bring us a range of emotions, and I can help patiently guide people through the process. My approach is individualized, depending on the needs of each person. I can take directions and take initiative when needed. My approach starts with assessing each person's unique needs, considering the ages of children and pets. As well as identifying high-traffic areas and common clutter zones. I like to involve family members to gather their input on what works for them and what doesn't. I can use storage solutions in the home and recommend solutions if needed. I then develop simple, easy-to-follow systems for sorting and storing items, including labels and visual cues to help family members understand where things belong. Adaptability is key, and I can help adapt systems as needs evolve, including routine maintenance. By focusing on these elements, I can help create functional organization systems that help the entire family.
