A professional organizer can help you achieve your decluttering and organizing goals by offering hands-on help purging, sorting and storing your belongings.  

Unlike a cleaning service which will do an amazing job removing dirt and grime from your home or office, an organizer can help you pinpoint your organizational snags. They will help you address those snags by setting up organizational systems in your home or office so you can stay ahead of disorder.  

A professional organizer is a coach, a leader, a listener, a cheerleader and a support throughout your tidying project.  

Hiring a professional means less clutter, less stress, more time and improved productivity.

Everyday Organized focuses on spaces within your home or small business.

Home

bedrooms, closets, playrooms, pantries, living rooms, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, office spaces, filing systems, craft corners and the list goes on!

I am also available to tackle basic meal planning, grocery lists and chore charts for the kids.

Small Business

supply cupboards, kitchenettes, filing systems

If there is something you need to have organized, Everyday Organized is here to help. If the job is outside my scope, I will do my best to refer you to another organizer who can help.

• We start with a PLAN. What are your goals for the space? Can we make it functional for you?

• We SORT your things. Items need to be categorized so we can really see what you've got.

• We WEED out the clutter. Decide what items fit with your goals and in your space. Choose items that serve a purpose and that you love. Let go of items that don't.

• We set up a functional and easy-to-use system, so you can LIVE your everyday feeling more comfortable in your own space, with less stress, wasting less money, saving more time, being more productive, living more simply, doing the things you want to do and loving your home.

Every project is unique.  Some spaces can be completed in 3-5 hours, while other projects could require many sessions. The amount of time a project takes is dependent on numerous factors: 

• What space we are working in and where is it located?
• Am working alone or with you?
• Do you like to do homework?
• How many belongings and how much paper is in the space?
• How quickly are you able to make decisions?

During our initial consultation, we will assess the space to be organized and discuss your goals.  

Hourly rate: $55/hr booked as a minimum 3-hour session

Mileage fee: $0.65/km for any projects more than 30 minutes from my base (Ingersoll, Ontario)

Research and shopping fee: $25 per hour

Please note:  

• A $100 deposit is required at the time of booking your first session.  
• All remaining fees are payable at the end of the session, on the day service is provided. Payments are accepted by cash, cheque or e-transfer.
• 48 hours notice is required to cancel a session, otherwise a 50% cancellation fee will be charged. In the event of a true emergency the 50% fee may be waived at the discretion of Everyday Organized.

Choosing to hire an organizer is definitely an investment.  

I like to think of it like this - I can't give myself a good massage, so I pay someone to help me out with that.  Paying someone to help you organize your space can have significant mental health, financial and time-saving benefits in the short and long term.  Could you do this yourself?  Possibly, but many people lack the motivation, time and determination to get the job done without some help.  

You are worth this investment in your home or office and in yourself! 

Yes. I carry both general liability and professional liability insurance.

I will never make you get rid of anything you want to keep. I will, however, remind you of your goals for the space and help you decide if you REALLY need, use or love an item enough to have it take up precious real estate in your space. All final decisions on whether to keep or get rid of an item are entirely yours.

That is really up to you. There are so many options! You could:

• Donate to a great charity. Oxford County has several places to consider (donation resource page)
• Donate to a local Buy Nothing group.
• Sell on Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace.
• Host a yard sale.
• Gift items to family and friends (only if they want or need them).

Garbage and recycling are an option for items that have reached their end of life.

I would be happy to take one carload of donations per session. 

Great question! I would love to say YES, absolutely - but life gets busy and crazy things can happen.

Being organized is as much about your habits as it is anything else. We can organize a functional space where every item has a home, but if things don't get put in their designated places, then it won't be long before chaos rears its head. Training yourself to put things back where they belong, designating homes for newly purchased items, practicing mindful spending and staying on top of everyday clutter will determine if this will stick for you.  

My goal is to organize your belongings in a simple and logical way so that putting things away is easy.

If things do happen to get a little out of hand, I would be happy to come back and help.  Take a look at our Keep It Up Maintenance Package.

In most cases, we can work with the items you already have on hand.

Having a Pinterest or Insta-worthy pantry or office, with the latest trendy canisters and matching bins, isn't the only way to organize your space. While great in some circumstances, these items are often pricey and aren't always the right solutions for everyone or every space.

In those cases where new supplies are needed or wanted, we'll look at your specific requirements and determine whether you or I will do the shopping. I do charge a $25/hr research and shopping fee (on top of the cost of any goods purchased).  

Ultimately, we'll work together to determine the right solution for your space.

Everyday Organized is located in Ingersoll, Ontario and serves Oxford County and the surrounding area:

Ingersoll, Woodstock, Tillsonburg, Norwich, Springfield, Belmont, London, Thamesford, Thorndale, Lakeside, St. Marys, Stratford, Embro, Aylmer, Tavistock and Innerkip.

If you don't see your town on the list, just ask! I am usually able to travel outside my service area.  A travel fee for locations more than 30 minutes from my base in Ingersoll, Ontario will apply. 

Alright, I think this would be a good time to talk about the difference between tidy and organized.  

I live with other people and we lead busy lives. Even though we have a lovely shoe rack in our front hall, sometimes we just kick off our shoes and see where they land! We live in our home and when people actually live in their homes, things are bound to get a little out of order.

So, is my house always tidy? Nope.  

Is my house organized? For the most part, yes.  

Almost all of our belongings have a designated home, so when company is coming or things are starting to get a little unruly, it doesn't take long to put everything back together again.  

Being organized doesn't always equal perfectly tidy spaces, even for a professional organizer!
