My wife and I got married last November at the Bridgeport Art Center which is a beautiful space,…read morebut is just that--a space. We had to find a florist, decorator, caterer, a band, and someone to set the whole place up and tear the whole place down. Instead we found Amber, who did a little bit of everything to make out wedding less stressful and more beautiful. Besides organizing everyone day of she helped in the lead up, thinking of things that never would have occurred to us and making phone calls to fix problems before we knew they existed. She was incredible. And did it all in a way that made me believe she really wanted us to just have a perfect day. Next time I have an event of any size to organize, she will be my first call.

Amber is very organized, practical and resourceful. I had hired her a few years ago to help me…read moreorganize my closet and hire contractors to do some projects around the house that I had been procrastinating on. I tend to have lists and lists of things I want to get done and have no idea where to start. She sorted my mail, designed a new closet system for me, cleared out bags of extra clothes and set me up with contractors. I got my condo painted and built in a wine fridge/bar/glassware cabinet that I'd been wanting to do since I bought the place! This past January, my job was moving me out of state and one day I suddenly realized I wasn't sure what I needed to do to prepare for my move. Movers were coming to pack up my stuff in a few weeks and I'd done nothing to prepare. I reached out to Amber and within the hour, she laid out my game plan, gave me a to do list, and highlighted where she could help out. Within 10 days, my stuff was on a truck and I was mostly ready to go. I had to ask her to come back after I left to take one more box to the post office to mail and she was perfectly happy to do it. I recommend her if you need help planning, getting organized, or just a quick reality check when you're overwhelmed by random life tasks. She breaks it down and gets it done. Now if I could just find someone like her in NYC....

Prepping food, passing appetizers, putting away food when we were done eating and even had the dishes washed, loaded and running by the end of the party!

I work full time and it is difficult to schedule appointments other than during the day. Helen has been an invaluable resource picking mom up from home and taking her to doctor visits, therapy and even to the hair salon! She not only provides physical assistance but emotional as well. My mom loves her conversations with Helen and the companionship as well. Helen provides me with detailed follow up and pertinent information after appointments. It takes a warm, compassionate, kindhearted and very patient person to work with seniors. Helen checks off all of those qualities and more!

I had a 3-hour session with Sarah. My condo was being renovated at the time, so I had furniture…read moreeverywhere and people clanging and hammering upstairs. Sarah was great! I have a little IGTV show, and she was cool with being a part of it. We cleaned one side of my SUPER cluttered closet. And she gave me homework to work on the other sides. She would hand me boxes, I'd go through them and separate into shred, donate, garbage, recycle, or keep, and hand them back and we worked like that for the entire 3 hours. It's been maybe a month since she came and that side of my closet still looks like the day she left. It's kinda weird to have a stranger come into your house and help you go through your clutter, but just remember, they are there to help, not to judge. I'm only giving 4 stars because I sent a message saying I wanted her to come back and I just never heard back from them anymore. I'm thinking my place was probably tooooooo much of a cluster for her. EEK!!!

I am a hot mess. Not…read morereally, but my apartment is. I have searched high and low for home organizing services. All of them were too expensive. I'm not going to pay someone $65 per hour to purge my closet and organize my 250 sq. studio. I found SOS on Yelp. The 5-star reviews seemed questionable but after my experience, they deserve them! I started with a 3-hour appointment with Callie. She's an absolute doll. I am amazed by her creative organizing solutions! We went through my walk-in closet and kitchen. It helps to help. I couldn't just sit back and watch her organize my belongings. It can be tedious, but it's worth it! We accomplished A LOT. I couldn't have done it without her. I just don't have the motivation or drive. I can see my floor again! I found my favorite sweater! Everything makes sense now! I love, love, LOVE how organized my apartment is. I am so happy I found SOS and met Callie! I finally got it done! Plus: It feels nice coming home now.

My husband and I have worked with Heidi in two capacities, and cannot recommend her highly…read moreenough!!! 1) Heidi took fantastic care of our dog when my husband and I both had to be out of the country this summer. Idaho (our dog, a rat terrier) LOVED her immediately (and he is picky about his humans. She took him for long walks, to the beach, and sent us lots of photos and messages detailing their adventures. I actually think Idaho was a little sad when we came home and he had to leave Heidi's lovely apartment! 2) Heidi did such a fantastic job of taking care of Idaho that we asked her to serve as the Day-of Coordinator for our wedding this past month. She did an amazing job!!! Even though we had really just hired her to coordinate things on the day of the wedding itself, she gave us help and support from day one. Her enthusiasm was infectious, she was wonderful at brainstorming solutions to problems, and (thanks in part to her years of experience in the hotel industry) she thought of all kinds of details that we ourselves might have missed. She was a rock of support on the day itself, and she worked extremely well with vendors, support staff, caterers, and my various family members. She even thoughtfully phoned the hotel where we were staying for the night and got us an upgrade to a business suite! Throughout all of our dealings with Heidi she has been extremely responsible, reliable, supportive, and a great communicator. I will absolutely be asking her to take care of Idaho in the near future, and I would not hesitate to call on her again for another job requiring organization or coordinating skills!

I needed help with prepping my place back in Chicago for movers, along with some related tasks…read more This involved working with someone trustworthy, flexible, and independent - as I am currently living out of state. What a relief it was to have someone like Heidi helping me out from start to finish. The job turned out to be a little bigger than I expected. But Heidi was super helpful, dependable, and flexible. This work involved not only doing some leftover packing, but working with the movers, storage location, and the cleaning service. Cannot imagine how challenging and nerve-racking this all could have been had I ended up having to work with someone else, or more likely - a few someone-elses :) Heidi kept me up to date each step of the way with texts and photos when appropriate. She provided me with detailed invoices so I knew exactly what I was paying for. And most importantly to me, she reached out when questions arose - which was inevitable with this type of situation. Everything is now completely done. My belongings are safely stored. My apartment was left in great condition - and my previous property managers are happy. Not sure what the word or phrase is for something far better than a "job well done", but that's how I would describe my experience working with Heidi. Zero hesitation recommending her services to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy person to help out.
