Helping Hands Personal Services - professional organizer

Mar 2015

This client and her family moved out of their home during a whole-house remodel and recently returned. Several areas were in disarray and needed to be reorganized. We moved everything to its proper room, organized the kitchen, home office, laundry room, storage area, dining room, master bath, and family photos. We still have work to do in the garage and fine-tuning other areas of the home. I have known and worked with this client for several years and previously assisted with organizing the kitchen and other rooms after move. When the children were younger, I organized their bedrooms and play areas as well as assisting the homeowner with setting up and maintaining her home filing system

This project is still in progress. The client wants to clear the clutter from every closet and room of the house, including the garage. We usually work about 5 hours each time we get together. So far we've done the office, guest room closet, craft closet, media drawers, the kitchen, pantry and butler's pantry, and the china cabinet. Sometimes a room can be done in one session and sometimes more than one area is de-cluttered. My client has an easy time getting rid of the excess, which makes the process go more quickly. The last big area we will organize is the garage and holiday decorations. As we progress, we identify types of storage containers that will make the most sense for storing the items that are kept. We will be doing some labeling of certain items and purchasing additional containers as needed. We will also be hiring a company to remove all the bulky items that are no longer useful.

I'm currently working with the homeowner to go through all the major areas of her home and get them organized. Due to busy lifestyle and many responsibilities, this homeowner has delayed this project until recently. We started by going through papers, photos, books, magazines, craft and office supplies, and keepsakes. We've sorted by category and thrown away, recycled or donated much of the rest. We've cleared areas that were causing the homeowner stress and have gathered like items so that we can do more organizing once all the similar things have been gathered and consolidated. We'll be working on the garage, master closet, laundry room and bedrooms over time. This has really helped the homeowner to feel peace of mind.

After relocating to Dallas, this family's garage was coved wall-to-wall with boxes, bins, shelves, exercise equipment, tools and furniture. There was no room to park a car. The homeowner and I moved the exercise equipment to another area and began organizing over 30 plastic bins into categories and stacking them against the walls so there was room to navigate. We consolidated items to reduce the number of containers, filled the car with donations, and filled several bags of trash to be taken offsite. After our organizing session the homeowner was able to bring several containers inside where she could concentrate on one category at a time and go through them at her convenience. During our second organizing session we concentrated on going through old papers and files. The outdated ones were recycled or shredded, and the rest were integrated into the existing system. We also created new file folders, gathered all tax documents to store together, and created an area for office supplies. We also went through boxes of framed photos and removed the pictures that would no longer be displayed. The empty frames were later donated.

This is a client who relies on me regularly to help keep her home running smoothly. I have worked with her for several years. One of the challenges is too much mail. This busy professional tends to be on the go so much that the paperwork piles up and becomes unmanageable. I help by gathering the mail form various locations, categorizing it, getting rid of junk mail, shredding sensitive documents and filing the important papers. Another area we frequently work on is the bathroom drawers and countertops and clearing the bedroom of items that don't belong there. I also help her with her wardrobe area by hanging clothes and putting away laundry. I have also helped this client with a move, and as a personal assistant.

I organized this client's kitchen, pantry, and the large playroom. Using the guidelines she provided I was able to organize these areas independently, while this busy homeowner worked from her home office. After completing her project she recommended me to a friend who I will be working with soon. This client was referred by another client with young children

This homeowner who has a physical ailment needed help organizing several areas of her home after a move. The boxes had been packed haphazardly and there were several remaining, filling the dining room. We painstakingly went through each box, sorting by room, person and function. We filled several boxes with donations and put the rest in the rooms where they belonged. Over 3 sessions we cleared out the dining room, organized the large kitchen and kitchen-office area, as well as many small tasks throughout the house.

This client works from home and has a baby under a year old. She desperately needed help organizing her master bathroom cupboards and supply closet. While my client worked from home I sorted through everything. I made piles for items I needed her input on and then contained and reorganized everything, including a supply closet full of toiletries, medicines, and beauty products. On a subsequent visit I reorganized her master closet, rearranged the layout to allow her to find and use her clothing, shoes, and accessories without having to search and dig. I reorganized the downstairs entry closet and got shoes off the floor and onto racks.
