What does a professional organizer do?
Most folks could probably guess what a professional organizer is but what they actually do may still be a bit of a mystery. One definition I found was, "one who assists individuals and businesses to improve their organizing systems and process.” Frankly, I don’t think that captures the essence of what a great organizer can do for you.
From my perspective, a professional organizer is a trusted confidant who will help you overcome whatever clutter, disorganization, or stress-inducing challenge you’re facing that takes up way too much mental energy. Some people I’ve talked to think it feels indulgent to have a person come into their home to help them organize their space, followed by a comment like, “I got myself into this mess, I should really be the one to fix it.” And to that I think, why beat yourself up about it? We all have busy lives and sometimes keeping our homes tidy can feel unmanageable, especially if you’re facing a major life event. There is nothing to be ashamed of and it's perfectly acceptable - even healthy - to ask for help getting back into a productive groove.
So what exactly does this mean for you? Well, it all depends on your organizational needs. Whether you need help with home organization or home design and decor, a professional organizer can help you with:
Creating new space in your home such as a playroom, nursery, or home office
Getting rid of or donating unused items such as toys, furniture, sports equipment, or clothes
Making your home function better for your growing family by adding more storage space or rearranging a room
Packing and unpacking your belongings when moving into a new home
As a professional organizer who is certified both with the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals (NAPO) and as a Certified Interior Decorator (CID), I feel privileged to help my clients tackle spaces in their home so they can feel like a huge weight has been lifted (and perhaps some actual heavy lifting was required!). Honestly, nothing feels more gratifying to me than having a client give me a huge high-five after transforming a room with a, “I can’t believe we did this!” I can. And I knew you could, too.
