Your mornings will run more smoothly when everyone can find what they need. I can help with:
​​
-
Sorting through clothing, jewellery and accessories to find the pieces you need and love

Ensuring that you can easily reach and put away all the things you need on a regular basis

Newborns and toddlers

I can help you feel more calm and get back a little bit of the time you spend taking care of other people. Here's how:
​
-
Creating very simple, affordable systems designed to support you for the next 2 - 3 years while your family grows
-
Organizing hand me downs and baby gear to be sold, donated or stored for younger siblings
-
Setting up nurseries and arranging for crib and furniture assembly by a trusted third party company
-
Space planning for shared kids rooms
-
Sorting through shower gifts to find homes for all of your baby's new things
​​
Please note: I recognize that as a parent, you have very little time, and I want to ensure you get the most bang for your buck. For parents with small children, I generally recommend having another parent or caregiver take the kids for a few hours so that little ones aren't tempted to crash our organizing sessions. For parents of newborns, or moms on mat leave, I will need your undivided attention for a couple of hours total, but I'm happy to work around your baby's feeding or sleep schedules.
Kids toys, artwork and school papers

Have you ever stepped on Lego in the middle of the night? I can help. Here's how:
​​
-
Sorting toys by category and creating one-step storage systems that make it easy for kids to access and put their toys away
-
Helping to foster self sufficiency so that Mom or Dad can spend less time searching for the kids' stuff, and kids can help with clean up because they know where everything goes
-
Creating a workspace for older kids, as well as setting up binders and back packs
-
Creating an "archive" for report cards, drawings, class photos, etc and a system for getting paper from their backpacks to the archive box
