About us

Looking for hands-on help to facilitate decisions and change? I am a kind, nonjudgmental, and backed with 3 decades of experience helping others. I am insured. I work with situational disorganization-created by life changes. I am unable to work with hoarders (in the clinical sense) and others struggling with chronic disorganization. I work with my clients to sort through and make decisions about their possessions- what they’ll keep, pass along via sale or donation, recycle, repurpose or discard. I can be there the entire process, or if a client is inclined to work independently of me, I can give homework in between sessions to expedite progress. After paring down, I can help assess what space is available then determine how to make better use of it. Experienced with:*Death- expected and sudden*Divorce-expected and sudden*Downsizing* *Preemptive downsizing.*Clients with limited mobility, energy and chronic pain*Preparation of home for listing on market*Combining households*Making room for baby or other new additions to family*Reconfiguration of space to foster working from home or other alternate needs. *COVID-19 : *I am fully vaccinated and will continue to mask up, maintain distance in efforts to keep everyone safe. Exclusions: Hoarding. Digital data management. Housecleaning. Assembly/building/installation of furniture, storage solutions, custom closets and shelves. Biological hazards, animal/insect infestation, mold, structurally unsafe conditions, smoking indoors. How long will it take/how much will it cost? This depends on how quickly you are able to make decisions and how much you accomplish on your own, between sessions. I cannot predict either prior to working with you, however, after a couple of sessions, I will have a better sense. Rates: $100 hourly, 2 hour minimum. Sessions of 2-6 hours. Estimates/quotes provided via Facetime or in person.

Very well! Cher packed the house up without my presence as I was in another state. She kept me informed, asked questions, and did excellent work. Items arrived, no broken items.

It's great. I am so happy I found her. She made things easier for me. Helped me sort out if there is anything I need to donate or throw out. She's done wonders with my home. She is very friendly, passionate, and understanding. She is very easy to approach. She is very independent. No need to direct her. She knows what to do. She can work and finish a project on her own.

Cheryl did a great job of helping to organize my office and cleaning the kitchen, bathroom, and other common areas. She’s prompt, highly efficient, thorough, and most importantly, non-judgemental. Cheryl has been to our apartment a few times and always goes the extra mile whether it be taking unwanted items to Boomerangs or Goodwill, shredding documents, bringing old linens to an animal shelter to be used as bedding, or hauling out any trash/recycling. I would highly recommend Cheryl for any cleaning or organizing job!

Cher has miraculously made failed systems into tools of efficiency, and provided support in moves and transitions that have overwhelmed and undermined for years. Cher accomplishes, but is so open and participatory that all of her good work can be credited or shared with your good decisions.

Cheryl is a smart, responsible, experienced professional with boundless energy for organization, and I hired her many times fur help in my large cluttered home in Roslindale. She also helped me pack for an all-house move, which was quite daunting. Great work, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! Plus, my dogs loved her!!

When I had to downsize from a a home where I's lived for 25 years into an apartment, Cher was a lifesaver, helping me to sort through all the accumulated stuff, organizing it into piles, throwing some out, and boxing other things up. She was always prompt, focused, and cheerful (a much needed quality!). Honestly, I don't know how I would have managed without her, and I have since hired her for other projects. She has a knack for fitting a lot of things into small spaces! I give her the highest recommendation without hesitation!
