Professional Organizer
Creates functional systems for belongings and spaces: categorizes/sorts like items, guides clients through keep/donate/discard decisions, determines where items should live, and creates customized, long-term organizational and storage solutions. Incorporates space planning, furniture placement, and styling using the client’s existing belongings to improve function and flow.
House Cleaner
Cleans the home: scrubbing/wiping surfaces, bathrooms, kitchens, floors, appliances, dusting, fan blades, baseboards, etc. Usually cleans around belongings rather than determining where belongings should live.
