According to the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO), a Professional Organizer enhances the lives of clients by designing systems and processes using organizing principles and by transferring organizing skills. A Professional Organizer also educates the public on organizing solutions and the resulting benefits, as well as helping individuals and businesses take control of their surroundings, their time, their paper, and their systems for life.
How will I benefit by working with a Professional Organizer?
By hiring a professional, you are making a commitment to work toward creating the environment that you have always dreamed of. Professional Organizers provide hands on help, guidance and expertise, as well as encouragement and support in a confidential and non-judgmental atmosphere.
How long will it take?
That depends on many factors: what you’re trying to address, how quickly you make decisions, your energy level and attention span, your budget and schedule. Some people get a jump start with a single session and are off and running on their own, while others need or prefer multiple sessions spread out over time to complete the project.
How much does it cost?
Again, that depends. Fees vary according to geographic area, the organizer’s level of training and experience, and other factors.
My fees are based on several variables, including the length of the session, whether you are a residential or home-business client, how far I need to travel, how often we meet. Please call me for a free initial phone consultation so we can discuss this further.
Payment is required at the time of service. We accept cash and local checks.
Do I have to do anything to get ready for you?
No. In order to help you with your needs, I need to see things as they are currently – however messy or disorganized. This may be hard, but it’s the best way to help us come up with individualized solutions that will work for you.
Are your services confidential?
As a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers, I abide by their Code of Ethics (available upon request). All services are completely confidential, and I will not share any of your personal information with anyone at any time.
