What is a Professional Organizer, anyway?
A Professional Organizer is someone who helps you overcome clutter and disorganization to make your life less stressful and your time more efficient. Why hire a Professional Organizer? A Professional Organizer not only helps you organize your mess, but also creates easy-to-follow systems to help keep it that way. An Organizer is there to help you through the entire process of evaluating, sorting, eliminating, arranging, and filing to help make your home a better place to live and your office a better place to work. What are the benefits of getting organized? Your environment plays a huge role in your mood, your productivity, and even your blood pressure levels. When your space is in disarray, you cannot function at your best. Getting organized simplifies your life, giving you more time and less stress. You’ll always know exactly where everything is. What part of Alabama do you serve? Ducks in a Row serves the greater Huntsville area, including Madison and Limestone Counties. Service in other parts of north Alabama and/or southern middle Tennessee will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Which kinds of spaces do you organize? Ducks in a Row will tackle everything from your children’s playroom to your kitchen pantry. All areas of your home or office are covered. You can see a full listing on the services page. Will you work with me or just coach me? In most cases, the job will be divided into two phases. During the first phase, we will work together. We will sort your belongings and make an assessment of what should stay and what should be removed. This is important because only you know what fits, what’s used, and what is cherished. During the second phase, your belongings will be arranged in ways that really work! This can be accomplished by me independently or we can work together, getting the job done faster and saving you money. How do I get started? Simply contact me here. What takes place at the initial meeting? At the initial meeting, I will evaluate the space in its current condition and conduct an assessment of your specific needs. Together we will identify the functional components of the space, discuss the challenges you face, and formulate a plan of action to accomplish your goals. Do I need to clean up before you come? No! It is important that I see exactly what you are dealing with. Will you be flexible and able to work around my schedule? Yes! Will my sessions be confidential? Absolutely! Information about our conversations and the condition of your home/office will not be shared with others. To see other guidelines by which I stand, please see my code of ethics on the about page. What are your rates? Please see the services page for details. What if I only need you for a few hours? No problem! You can hire me for as few as 4 hours. What payments are accepted? I accept payment via cash, Cash App, Venmo, and personal checks. Organizing packages must be fully paid in advance of service. Payment for hourly organizing service is due at the end of each day's work session. |
