"It was my pleasure. I love a challenge and the results were wonderful. So happy you too are enjoying your new space. Looking forward to work in you master closet! Thank you."
"Thank you [Member Name Removed] for taking the time to provide me with a rating. See you soon to finish other home projects! Nancy Rivera"
"[Member name] and [Member name], I am so touched by your comments to Angie's List. How gratifying to know the positive impact that one can make on lives--this is why I am so passionate about what I do! Working with teenagers can be challenging in any field; but your son was a pleasure to work with. He was excited and eager to getting it done. You and [Member name] have raised well mannered and respectful teenagers. I look forward to someday working with [Member name] too. Thank you again for your kind words, and I look forward to working with you and your family, on our next project--the garage! Nancy Rivera Mission: Organizing"
"Thank you [Member name] and [Member name]. Love working with both of you and your determination to get and stay organized. It is an honor to be part of bringing order to your lives. Consequently, a making your home a true haven! See you soon. Nancy Rivera"
I am so pleased with how wonderful this turned out. We now have items in the closet that really belong there. Everything has a home neatly stored in clear bins with neat clear labels which make it a pleasure to look for things. Living organized is definitely a big key to a less stressful life as it saves you valuable time when you know exactly where to look for things. I love opening my closet now! Oh and my files look beautifully organized and color coded! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER OUTSTANDING SERVICES!
"It was a pleasure working with you [member name removed]. I saw your vision and appreciated how you and your husband were on board in getting this area organized. I look forward to working with you in the near future and help you streamline other areas of the home. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to provide your comments! Nancy Rivera Mission: Organizing.com"
1) Had a no-cost phone consultation to learn more about the services, pricing, next steps. Nancy asked questions to determine our goals, timing and special areas of interest. 2) First appointment lasted 4-5 hours. After a walkthrough of the whole house, I determined the kitchen was my priority. Nancy helped to unpack 10-12 kitchen boxes. The items were sorted and purged. We discussed where things should be placed and with Nancy's feedback, everything was stored away. It was hard work! We discussed container needs and made 2nd appointment to tackle the pantry and office. 3) Second appointment went well; we followed the organization steps again to complete the pantry organization and started on the office shelving. Nancy gave me tips throughout the process.
Overall my experience with Nancy was excellent. The peace of mind that I have walking into my home and having the kitchen, pantry and office organized is a great relief. I recommend Nancy and I'm so thankful for what she does. Nancy works very hard and is sensitive to your individual needs. She is professional and makes organizing fun. I recommend Nancy for your organization needs.
"Hi (member name removed), I am happy you enjoyed having these systems in place. Your goal was less clutter and we accomplished a lot in a short time. Your space is now clutter free! Thank you. Nancy"
"Thank you for taking time to provide input on your experience with Mission: Organizing. It is an honor to work with you and helping you meet your goals. Together we accomplished a lot and worked through letting go of some sentimental items--you did it! Now you have systems in place and zoned for easy access. Continued success! Nancy"
It went wonderfully. Nancy is very gentle and respectful. She also makes wonderful suggestions about room arrangement and space usage. She left me with a manageable amount of "homework" to do before our next session. Furthermore, she is very upfront and clear about all fees. Unfortunately, a person with limited funds would not be able to afford this service, but, if you possibly afford it, and you are suffering from disorganization, it is money well spent. She left me with a sense of hope and that's hard to put a price on! She is providing ongoing services for me, as it will take me a LOT of time and effort to get my house and myself fully organized on an independent basis. This is NOT because Nancy tries to "string you alone." On the contrary, her goal is to help YOU to develop systems of organization that work for you by yourself. Basically, her goal is actually to work herself out of a job with you. There are just certain personal issues in my case, that make this harder and slower to achieve than might otherwise be the case. I really can't rave about her enough. Nancy really knows her business and did an outstanding job. Her professionalism is superlative.
UPDATE:
Nancy Rivera is nothing short of a miracle worker. For starters, she made me feel extremely comfortable in the midst of my clutter. Her non-judgmental attitude put me immediately at ease.
In our first session, we walked through every room in my house. She asked me to set and prioritize my goals. With paperwork being at the top of my list, we gathered all of the various papers from throughout the house and put them in one bin. We then gathered all of the miscellaneous items and put them in various labeled bins, such as ?trash,? ?donate,? ?re-cycle,? re-locate.? I was particularly impressed with the concept of the ?re-locate? bin. Rather than take the time to walk each misplaced item to its rightful place, much time was saving by simply putting it all in one bin to be relocated at a later time. My house looked a lot better in no time flat!
Once we had all of the paperwork gathered in one central location, Nancy worked with me to set up a home ?office,? complete with color-coded filing system. She also suggested re-positioning of my desk so that I could look out the window when I worked at it. What a pleasant change that was! And one that never would have occurred to me on my own!
But, in addition to her exceptional expertise in the area of organizing one?s life, she approaches her job with a real ?team work? approach. By closely observing my actions, listening carefully to everything I say, and asking questions, she works together WITH me to develop plans that are highly individualized. Just for ME! Hers is definitely not a ?one size fits all? approach. She ?tailors? her services to your individual needs and works to ?empower? you to be able to become independent with the systems she helps you to set up, BECAUSE, she sets them up ?with? you, rather than ?for? you.
Plus, she has an amazing understanding of the educational process. In fact, her understanding of how our brains function is comparable to someone with a master?s degree in special education.
For example she understands that we all have different learning styles, and, she works very closely with you, observing how YOU ?think,? to determine what type of approach will work best for you. She quickly identified my learning style as highly visual.
She also recognized my need to attack various tasks in "small chunks," (called ?chunking? in educational lingo) Her grasp of various teaching styles tailored to the particular individual is nothing short of mind-boggling. Nancy is constantly observing, evaluating, and re-evaluating. She adjusts her approach, based on what she observes about you and the feedback that you give her. She ?notices? what works, and, what doesn?t!
Nancy is incredibly methodical in her entire approach to organization. She takes everything step by step. I find this extremely helpful.
Not to mention, she WILL ?catch? you if you try to slip something by her. To give you an idea of this, as we were working, I?d come across a small slip of paper that I just didn?t know what to do with. So, I TRIED to just ?slip? it into my desk drawer, but, she ?caught? me. And, when we discussed the significance of that piece of paper, I realized that it was NOT something I needed to keep! Eagle eye, and, task master! But, JUST what I need!
Even though her services are expensive, she really makes the most of the time that she spends with you. Not one second is wasted! She is ?ON,? the WHOLE time that she is with you! Hard working and conscientious.
Furthermore, she will persist in finding what you need to help you get your life more organized. She had suggested I get a planner, but when I looked at them, I didn?t find any that suited me. She did some research and e-mailed me with a link to a radically different type of planner that suited me perfectly!
She also prepares an amazingly detailed and highly accurate account of everything we accomplish in each session, as well as a listing of future actions and goals. How she remembers all that is totally beyond me!
Before she leaves your house after each session, she makes sure that everything is tidied up. She doesn?t leave any ?loose ends? for you to ?get to? later. (She probably realizes that that ?later? may never come!) Other than the homework she gives you for her next session, that is!
Furthermore, because of the added expense of her travel time (two hours) for her visits to my home, she helped me set up and learn how use Skype, and we are now doing some sessions that way, to reduce the costs.
And, besides all of the above, she is warm, friendly and just plain all around easy to be with and work with! A real pleasure to have in your home! I honestly can?t ?rave? about her enough!
"Hi [removed member name], Thank you for such a beautiful expression of your appreciation. It is a privilege to work with someone like you, so determined to reach your goals. Now looking back, you have accomplished many of your goals. Look forward to working with you again. Nancy"
"Thank you for contacting me via Angie's List. I am so sorry you felt you left a message and no one returned your call. I checked all the emails from Angie's List and voicemails and found no message. Usually, when a member of Angie's List requires a call, I receive a notification from Angie's list sent to our email account "[email protected]" and at the same time on my mobile #813-514-5696. I wanted to call you and speak to you personally today but, I noticed the message you left on the Angie's List Review has no contact number or email for me to reach you. Please feel free to email or call me today. Sincerely, Nancy Rivera"
"Dear [removed member name], Thank you for your comments. It is great when I can hear how the experience was for each of my clients. Unfortunately, when it comes to these shows on TV, it is just that--a show. They usually have a crew of about 5 to 15 people to do maintenance, design, organize and clean—they crash in and get it done. Just like crash diets don’t work, likewise these shows are not realistic and, don’t work. A professional organizer goes through the process with their client, and they learn how to design a system that works for the client. We coach our clients on how to manage excess stuff, by showing how to manage what’s already in the home and, manage what comes in the home. With any successful program, one needs to be motivated, educated and supported. That is what we try to do for you. When the organizing process is completed, then all of your things will have a home. You will know exactly why these items were placed there and, it will be easy to remember because you were part of the development and design. There is great similarity with losing weight and organizing. They both require working towards permanent changes in habits and routine. Remember, organizing is a process of arranging your home, office, and schedule so that it reflects and encourages you. As Julie Morgenstern put it in one of her books, Shed Your Stuff, Change Your Life , she said the way your home is arranged “reflects and encourages who you are, what you want, and where you are going. 'It’s about …improving your efficiency and enable you to achieve your goals.' ” Guaranteed, once you go through this process, you will feel great! Not punished for going through the journey but, elated with the outcome--a reward you deserve. Your home will reflect you; it will be comfortable, peaceful, warm and loving. Then you can invite friends over to show off your thin house, LOL. The best to you! Nancy Rivera Mission: Organizing"
"It was great working with you. I am so happy to help you achieve your goals, especially in a room that matters to your well being. It needs to be a place of relaxation, rest and peace. The skills you've learned from doing your room, can be used for your child's room. Be sure to include him in the process. He will learn valuable skills that he can apply in school and life. Thank you."
"It was a pleasure meeting Member and her family. Member was very ready to get organized and that made it so much easier for her. She was ready to apply what she learned, her goal was to have her home reflect order, peace, and a haven to come home to and share with others. When looking for an organizer, there exists a industry standard in the pricing. Professional organizers price range from $50.00 per hour to $150.00 per hour and others charge by the project. Much depends on experience and training in this industry. More information can be found in National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) at Napo.net. Look forward to working with you again!"
"Member was great to work with. She knew what she wanted done and worked diligently to accomplish. To help offset expenses to my clients, I assign "homework." This helps move the process and saves the client time and money. Member worked on her assignments and we kept moving forward. Member's computer room is now her multipurpose computer/project room. Her file sytems was customized, to fit her needs. We added a mail station with categories that work for Member and a project zone. She has the basics and a project plan to keep moving forward--and I know she will! With regards to pricing, $750.00 included my rate, plus materials. We set-up a new file system, new mail station, project zone, and purchased folders, hanging files, labels and a label machine. Look forward to working with Member again!"
"Thank you for such wonderful comments! What I loved about working with the member was helping her see how much we could accomplish is such a short time frame. I would recommend working on an area and her reply was, "we won't have enough time." Not only did we complete the project but went on to another. It was commendable to see the member take all of her donations that same day to a needed donation facility. This was her drive to get things done right away--great spirit and energy. Her master bedroom was transformed into a peaceful retreat for her and her husband. Furthermore, we organized all of her papers and files. Pricing for professional organizers range from $50.00 per hour to $150.00. I have 6 years experience in organizing and I am a member of the National Association of Professional Organizers. I am at the lower end of the scale. Thanks member for your business!"
"Thank you for providing a report on my services. It was so much fun working with you on getting your office organized. Our 2 days were very productive and we accomplished a lot with setting up a process to organize your files. Helping you with the parameters of what to keep and what to toss, and what to set aside as a forever keep. In addition, giving you main categories to start the foundation for your files. This was a great beginning and I hope to hear from you again to take your office to another level. Thanks for your business!"
