Carolyn L I needed help organizing my home office so it would be easier to work and would stay organized. Shirley helped me set up a system that really worked for me! It's easy to use and to keep neat and tidy. My office looked so good that I decided to do the rest of my house. I'm 82, and I wanted to clear things out so my kids don't have a hard time doing it after I'm gone. We worked one half-day a week for almost 2 years until it was finished. We sorted and organized everything that I was keeping, and Shirley found out where to donate everything else. My house looks better than it has in years! I highly recommend Shirley's organizing service for everyone.

I met Shirley right after my life partner of 35 years died, and she stepped in to help when I was feeling too overwhelmed to make decisions about all of his things. She was very understanding about this difficult time of my life and she had good solutions for making sense of everything. I also had to move into a much smaller place within a few months, and Shirley's help made all the difference. She helped me decide what to keep and what to let go of, helped pack for the move and preserved my sanity during the whole process. She made a floor plan on her computer so we knew where the furniture was going in the new place, and she made sure the movers to get everything in the right place. Once the move was done, she helped me organize the new place so it really works for me. Shirley has lots of different skills, and she's made things work so smoothly! I couldn't have done it without her. Evelyn B

I can't say enough good about Shirley's ability to turn a house around! She saw organizing opportunities where I hadn't even noticed that I needed it, but now those places work so much better for me. She is great to work with and I have just been delighted with the outcome. Highly recommended!

Shirley helped me sort and organize papers, books, pamphlets and other materials from my work and travels, and made sure the order made sense to me so that I could find items later when they are needed. She doesn't just clean up-- she takes the time to ensure that the arrangement will continue to be functional in the future. Very satisfied!

FAQs

• What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

  Part of my fee is based on driving time and distance -- if you live in northern San Mateo County (Daly City/Brisbane to the City of San Mateo) I can discount the rate by $10/hr.

• What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

  My first visit is an overall evaluation -- -- What are your short-term & long-term goals? -- What needs to be done to get there? -- What is your budget? Then we make a plan together and get started.

• What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

  I've done organizing for myself and my friends...well, forever...and I've been doing it professionally now for 8 years. I've always been organized and have polished my skills over the years. I can usually offer more than one useful solution to organizing problems.
