Description of Work: My basement went from dreadful to beautiful. I have hired her for another session this week. She is amazing, friendly and ORGANIZED. She was able to put things in catogories, had great storage ideas. Would definitely hire her.

Description of Work: Because of a chronic illness my home office was a wreck. I had numerous large boxes filled with loose papers and no filing system to speak of. Other things has invaded the room, unfinished craft projects, things to be donated to GoodWill and Lord knows what else. You could not walk into the room. Jill went through every loose paper, sheet by sheet to see what should be filed, shredded or recycled. We went through every item in the room like this. We must have donated 300 books. Jill then helped me use my space wisely, setting up areas to store office supplies, some books, photographs, craft supplies and my desk and computer. She has even helped me set up a filing system for bills and important papers. She honestly left no stone unturned. Jill definitely knows how to organize. She knows where to donate everything and on several occasions has gone to Good Will, St. Vincent's and the Madison Recycle Center for me after our sessions were over. Jill and I worked in blocks of 3 hours at a time. That was the perfect time period to accomplish enough so that you could see the difference in the room, but not too much time so that you don't overwork yourself. I think it worked out perfectly. She also would leave me "homework" to be done before out next scheduled appointment. Once I did not complete my homework because I was ill. That didn't phase Jill at all. We just picked up where we left off. There were some weeks where I did my homework and then some. It became sort of a game with me to see how much I could get done to surprise her. She would always notice what was done when she came back. As I said, Jill has her systems. We would start by marking paper grocery bags with a marker, designating ones for papers to recycle, shred and donations. When we were working on all the papers I would sit at the kitchen table and she would bring me a pile. While I was going through them page by page, she would be in my office grouping things that were alike. This made the stuff in the office look more manageable. Once I finished a pile of papers, she brought me a new one. When we would do papers on recycling day in our neighborhood, we would take our load to the curb and fill my recycle bin. If we still had bags of paper to recycle, we would check out our neighbor's bin to see if there was room for one or two of our bags. Jill would save the boxes as we emptied them so that at the end of 3 hours she would show me how much we cleared away. It was always amazing to me just how much we could do in 3 hours. Whenever we cleared away another "chunk" as I called it, it really lifted my spirits and motivated me to keep going. I have now completely changed the way that I clean, constantly scanning the room for things that need to be pitched or stored in another place. When my college aged girls came home during spring break they were amazed. They tease me sometimes by saying"Yep! Mom's in organizing mode!" Jill has taught me so much that I will use from now on.
