wonderful however, she stopped abruptly. her friend said they thought i was looking for someone cheaper but i was not! Cheaper doesn't mean better. my mom has dementia and my health is not good since i lost my job. I had her 12 times and the difference in the lower level was amazing but broken hearted she stopped. the dementia foundation was offering inexpensive help while i was in the hospital and i returned their calls . Idid not want to be unappreciative to the Alzheimer association they have been very kind to my mom. I also had mimi and sue do paperwork and they found $181 in old checks.. Their time frame is 9-12 or 1-4 . KIND,CONSIDERATE,EFFICIENT
Description of Work: needed moving storage unpacked plus basement and 2 bedrooms - actually whole house

Thank you much for taking the time to write a review. I'm thrilled that you were so happy with the work we did together. I know it is life changing! I am so sorry that we could no longer modify our days and turn away other clients to meet your unique scheduling needs.

While initially we only used Mimi "from time to time," after we brought out things out of storage out of state, we really needed to downsize and organize what we wanted to keep, what needed to go. By ourselves, the job always seemed too overwhelming. We just never made enough progress and it got us down. Enter Mimi, with her gentle, focused and friendly approach, and we were able to do massive amounts of downsizing--and feel good doing it! She just seems to know what to do and what to say as you process through even the toughest decisions. After each session, she would even do the drop-offs for us, freeing us of yet another extra task. When we decided to move to quaint but smaller and older home in the city, she not only helped us downsize our previous home for storage, but used her considerable design skills to stage our home for selling! (Got five offers the first day.) Since older homes often lack adequate storage and closet space, she has helped us come up with new solutions. I can't believe the difference she made in our aged St Louis basement, making it a place I actually like to be in! She recommended affordable shelving units and transformed a pile of boxes into an easy to use space where we can find things at a glance. I can't say enough about Mimi - she is one of a kind. She is so easy to have around -- which is important when you consider how much time you may potentially be spending with an organizer. I have recommended her to a lot of families in transition -- moving, selling, perhaps dealing with the belongings of an elderly relative. Her patience, tact and approachability are phenomenal. Mimi, you've changed our lives!
Description of Work: I first used Mimi in 2011 when we were moving house. I had been taking care of my elderly mother, and some things just hadn't gotten done. Since then, she has been my "first call" organizer. She can make a substantial difference in ja single 3-4 hour visit -- and change your life with more time! She has helped my husband organize his special spaces, also -- his tools, car stuff, bicycle room. He is as much a fan of her as I am!
