    Oh my God, where do I start? When I recently had to move and downsize from a house to an apartment,…read moremy cousins gave me a present of 10 hours with their organizer, Chelsy. At first I was reticent as I thought I needed to go through every single piece of paper and how could someone else help me? WELL... Chelsy helped box up everything and helped me decide what to keep, what to recycle, what to donate (she even took care of bringing stuff to various places that accept donations), what to shred (yep, she took care of that too). She was part organizer, part therapist. AND then she came to my apartment after the movers arrived and basically set everything up (with and without my help), came back on other days, framed and hung prints, AND the best is yet to come: I had to go out of town several days later, and Chelsy came to my apartment while I was gone (yes, I gave her the keys - she's VERY trustworthy) and continued to take my life out of boxes and set up my apartment. I returned last night from my trip and expected to walk in the door and be overwhelmed by boxes everywhere. NOPE, my entire apartment was set up, and the small handful of boxes of books and other assorted things I need to go through were well-placed so they're not evident, and I don't trip over them. She set up systems and organized the kitchen drawers and my closets and and and... Chelsy gave me a piece of mind, made my transition so much easier, and contributed to my sanity. I can't praise or recommend her enough. Three thumbs up!

    I have known Chelsey since 2003. I do her taxes and help her with her bookkeeping. I never hired…read moreher to organize my home, because I thought I could do it myself, but never had the time. I finally decided to give her a try and hired Chelsey/Xtra Set of Hands to help organize my office closet. She did a good job in a reasonable amount of time. I had her come back to help with my garage. My husband is a pack rat and likes to do crafts, so his stuff is all over the place! The garage was full to the brim with stuff! She cut right through it and quick! She separated all the alike stuff in different piles. Cleaned up the garbage and bagged all the goodwill stuff and then she asked me what I wanted to keep/needed and what I wanted to donate or throw away. I am very happy with the way everything looks and how organized things are! I was amazed how quick she went through stuff and she even took my goodwill items! Most recently I had her back to organize my kitchen. The kitchen was so cluttered, there was too much stuff on the counters and I just didn't have time to deal with it and didn't know where to put everything. The top of the refrigerator was full of boxes and cereal. She put everything in very nice baskets, labeled them and got all the stuff off the counters. She got baskets for the pet stuff in the cabinet and suddenly, I had all this room! It is such a relief and now I have a place for everything! She even brought the baskets and supplies with her. The kitchen looks sooo clean and clutter free now, I just love it!!! I am addicted, I highly recommend her services. It is such a great feeling! I plan on having her come back soon to work on other projects Jeanine DiGiacomo

    When we first spoke on the phone, I knew I didn't just want someone to come and organize my home…read morefor me -- I needed strategies that would help me to stay organized long-term. We were on the same page immediately! Keith taught me invaluable systems that I've been putting into place around my home between our sessions. I knew I wanted to get rid of a lot of stuff, but I really appreciate that Keith never actually pressured me to "just get rid of" anything. He'd see me looking at something really hard and ask me a few questions to help me clarify my feelings and align my decisions with my goals. I had a lot of Big Feelings around certain spaces so having Keith's practical problem-solving and non-judgmental presence was invaluable in transforming my home into a place I enjoy using. I'm so happy to report I've been using my kitchen! Plus he's honestly just a joy to hang out with for a day. I highly recommend Keith to help you to fall in love with your space!

    Working with Keith has been a life-changing experience, truly. I tell basically everyone I know…read moreabout it. After six sessions he's not only transformed my space but my relationship to it: my home is no longer a source of stress and chaos, but a sanctuary where I can fully unwind. I can now maintain a baseline of organization with ease, without needing long weekend cleaning sessions. I know where everything is and don't need to waste time searching for my things. I never thought I could be this type of person. What's special about Keith is that he doesn't just organize, he teaches you the skills required for maintaining an organized home over the long term, tailored to you. He's trained with Marie Kondo and specializes in organizing for ADHD. He asks excellent questions in the decluttering process and has brilliant strategies for organization--I don't have ADHD but find that his methods work very well for my busy pace of life. I've developed a better understanding of why disorganization happens and how to address them and create systems as needed. All that to say, working with Keith is one of the best investments I've ever made. He's also a lovely person to spend an afternoon with, and always communicative, warm, and incredibly punctual. I'm so grateful to him and could not recommend his services more.

    For years I was trying to organize my clothing closet space, kitchen and home office (20+ years of…read moretoo much stuff), but I realized I was never going to get control of it all by myself. I needed another set of eyes, someone who could guide me out of the chaos. I found Molly here on Yelp and hired her and over the course of multiple 3-hour sessions, she helped me to focus in the chaos and guided me as I sorted, organized and clear things out. All through the process, Molly was thoughtful and kind. As a result of her guidance, I can now manage and maintain order in bedroom, kitchen and home office! Cooking and cleaning in the kitchen is so much easier. I can focus better in my home office. Getting ready in the morning is no longer hectic because my clothes are organized and easy to find. I highly recommend her services!

    There can't be anyone out there doing this kind of work who is better than Molly…read more She's helped various members of our extended family on different projects over the years and has always helped enormously, saving us a lot of time, money, and stress. Among her many positive attributes, she's an outstanding listener who supported us in figuring out what would work best for us (so she never pushed her own agenda). When it was time to get to work with "the stuff," she was always very efficient and was able to draw on her many experiences and resources. She's also fun and positive, so working with her was not only extremely helpful and productive, but also quite enjoyable. In summary, Molly is outstanding!

    I cannot say enough about how much Ashley helped me at a time of extreme pressure. I had too much…read moreto do, too little time, and if I didn't get it done quickly, I would lose out financially. I'm independent and self-sufficient and this was the first time I enliste someone's help on matters like this. She made it easy for me. When I contacted her, she was quick to respond and very professional. When I spoke with her on the phone, it seemed that she knew what she was doing and had solid experience. She came across as professional and friendly, competent, clear, and ready to get down to business. I've worked in a few different industries in my adult life and have interviewed prospective employees. My intuition on these things has tended to be solid. Ashley fit the bill. She came across as professional and trustworthy. She described her process for handling sensitive information, which I appreciated. She was also very understanding about a recent death in the family that contributed to my overwhelm. We did all the work remotely. She got me up to speed on a shared password system, a project management system, and kept active lists of what we were each doing. This kept my head clear and me on task. She made things easy, and all the work was completed in time. I'm very grateful to Ashley. I highly recommend her to make your life and/or business much easier!

She was wonderful, and I can safety say I made the right choice of who to help me unpack and organize. The layout of where things ended makes sense, the place looks great, and I was able to get a gargantuan task out of the way. I'd hire Ashley again in a heartbeat.
