I cannot say enough about how amazing Marissa was! Even though she was fully booked this weekend, she still went out of her way to help me and arrived at my house very early in the morning, right on the dot, so I wouldn’t be left hanging. From the moment she arrived, she brought such a calm, positive energy into my home. She is incredibly quick, organized, and efficient — she had my entire house packed up in less than three hours, and did it with such care and precision.
Beyond her skills, Marissa is such a genuine and down-to-earth person, the kind of spirit you feel blessed to cross paths with. She turned what could have been a stressful day into something smooth, easy, and even uplifting. I am so grateful for her help and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, skilled, and full of heart. She truly deserves all the recognition and success coming her way!

I honestly don’t even know where to begin. I had to coordinate an entire move by myself while juggling work and caring for my very ill wife — it felt impossible. I hired Melissa and her team for packing and unpacking help, and I can say with complete confidence that they were the best decision I made during this entire process.
From the first phone call, Melissa was kind, professional, and reassuring. On moving day, she and her crew showed up early, ready to go, and handled everything with such care and attention to detail — it was like having close friends helping, not strangers. What really stood out, though, was Melissa’s thoughtfulness. While I was buried in Zoom calls and trying to stay on top of work, she actually texted to ask if she could grab me lunch because she knew I hadn’t eaten. Who does that? No vendor goes out of their way like that. That’s just the kind of person she is — she doesn’t just care about the job, she genuinely cares about you.
When my wife came home after the move, she walked into a fully unpacked, organized, and welcoming home. It brought her to tears. I can’t thank Melissa and her team enough. If you’re looking for help with your move and want a company that brings heart and hustle, look no further.

As an exhausted mom of three boys, I was feeling completely overwhelmed by the chaos in my home. I knew I needed help, so I decided to hire Marissa for a day of organizing—and it was honestly the best decision I’ve made! From the moment she walked in, I could tell she was someone I could trust, and by the end of the day, it felt like I had gained not just an organizer, but a friend.
I gave her a list of areas I wanted tackled, and she worked through it all with such ease, knocking out everything from:
-Reorganizing the fridge and tossing expired items
-Reorganizing the pantry and tossing expired item
-Creating labels for the pantry to make everything easier to find
-Reorganizing our mudroom area
-Reorganizing the cleaning supplies area
-Creating labels for the cleaning supply area
- reorganize towel and misc blanket closet and creating labels
-Reorganizing the kids' bookshelf
-Tidying up the kids' kitchen area
Our family was so amazed with how much she completed along with how sweet and trustworthy she is that she now comes on a monthly basis to help me keep everything refreshed and organized. If you’re looking for someone who can truly make a difference in your home, I can’t recommend Marissa enough. She’s super efficient, extremely hard working, thoughtful, and just absolutely so sweet!

Absolutely outstanding. She was punctual,fast , had great ideas. Her skills were exactly what was needed . I was overwhelmed with a kitchen remodel and visitors coming . One of my spare rooms needed organising and the hall closet where you dumps everything in . I discovered I had four sunscreen bottles. Well, wage pit everything in order and even labeled everything. Couldn’t be happier . Will hire and recommend her .
