We're both busy, and organizing, sorting, and reducing are pretty much the last things you want to spend your free time doing! I chose Time Butler based on the excellent reviews and Lisa's responsiveness, and I immediately appreciated her clear, direct communication style. I brought her in for three hours, and we tackled the kitchen and pantry. While we already had a basic organizational structure in place, Lisa took it to a whole new level. She brought thoughtful suggestions based on her deep expertise and experience, and made the spaces so much more functional and well organized. With a bit of time left, she also coached me on how to tackle the other areas on my own, which was incredibly helpful. I won't hesitate to hire her again. Five-star recommendation with zero hesitation!

She has the ability to look at a situation that needs organizing like a puzzle, and in a short period of time she can solve the puzzle. She completely organized our kitchen so that it works efficiently according to our needs. She found containers to organize all the drawers that we didn't even know existed. It was like walking into a new kitchen that felt familiar, but was so much easier to use. This was all done in a record amount of time. She reorganized my office by moving the furniture and adding shelving to make the room more user friendly and more attractive. It was a vision that I could not see before she did her magic. The room feels more spacious even with more furniture. We felt that Debbie was one of the best investments we made during our remodel and move. We have used Debbie for other projects that we just don't seem to have time to do. For example, she reorganized our garage and now we can actually park both of our cars in the space. She helped us put together earthquake kits for our home and car. She is such a valuable resource I cannot recommend her highly enough. When you don't have time to do it yourself, call Debbie: 650-370-0440 Mary Novie/Cary Hersh

We hired a nanny, Mimi (also goes by Mary Beth) for one day per week. Over the course of just a few months, Mimi took multiple days off, was then absent for an extended period, and resigned abruptly via text message with zero notice, claiming she had an ongoing family emergency to tend to. After Mimi's resignation, the agency shared that she had expressed concerns about working with our family. I honestly took the feedback hard and it sent me to a dark place, as I didn't know this nanny I TRUSTED was judging me and my home so harshly when I'm just trying to do the best I can as a postpartum working mom. For what it's worth, much of the feedback seemed to be rooted in misunderstandings and in some cases, reflected basic responsibilities that were explicitly outlined in our nanny agreement. And none of those concerns had ever been raised directly despite months of her being sweet and warm to our faces. Again, I do not blame the agency. While I can't recommend our experience with this particular nanny, I can say that Rimma handled a very difficult situation with professionalism and compassion, which is why I'm choosing to leave the agency a five-star review. Rimma followed up with us thoughtfully and took our concerns seriously, and worked quickly to ensure we had a fantastic temporary nanny in place so our family wasn't left without childcare.

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!

I've worked with Keith over several sessions to organize our apartment, and he has been fantastic…read more What distinguishes him from someone who simply tidies or rearranges things is that he takes the time to understand how you actually use your home. He then helps you make thoughtful decisions about what to keep and creates practical, intuitive systems that reduce friction in everyday life. Keith is perceptive, patient, and completely nonjudgmental. He knows when to let you think, when to ask the question that clarifies a decision, and when to offer a strong recommendation so the project keeps moving. Nothing felt cookie cutter or imposed- the goal was always to make the space work for us, rather than forcing us into someone else's idea of an organized home. After working with him, our apartment feels calmer, more functional, and easier to maintain. He is also genuinely enjoyable to spend a long session with, which matters for this kind of work. I would recommend Keith without hesitation.

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.

Our primary goal last year was to remodel our master bedroom and bathroom, and this expanded to our master closet and garage. Jackie was the master at helping us re-engineer a complete change in our master closet, guest bedroom closet, coat room, and garage. The final product was nothing short of a masterpiece! She created a layout that is nothing short of a work of art for our master closet. She crafted a design that allows us to have multiple layers of hanging clothing areas that doubled our space, with suggestions to our GC on back painting the wall Tiffany blue to make the closet super zen and show worthy. This included soft closing doors in the garage, two levels of hanging space in two guest closets, and a master closet that is a show piece. And at half the cost we were quoted from California Closets. Jackie is so easy to work with, and super professional!
