Hi my name is Melissa and I am a Professional Organizer and the founder of MY Preferred Organizing LLC. I offer FUN in FUNctionality.
At a young age I always enjoyed organizing and rearranging furniture anywhere I went. Becoming a Professional Organizer has always been a dream of mine and I am so blessed that my hobby is now my business.
My goal is to Reduce, Arrange, and Maintain any space in your home all while having fun doing it. It doesn't have to be a stressful process! I can help you declutter and organize rooms such as Kitchens, Closets, Mud Rooms, and any other space in your home!
It is all about creating a system that works for YOU! There is no right way or wrong way to organize, it's YOUR way, and I am there to help.
There is both a sense of accomplishment and excitement when both the client and I look at a transformed space. Ahh-I just LOVE it.

Melissa and team were amazing. Melissa provided an estimate right away and explained everything. Her ideas for my space worked out very well. I appreciated the work her and team did.

Melissa and her team are fantastic. They work quickly AND carefully, and handled my items with care. Three closets that I couldn’t even enter are now organized logically and beautifully. I keep opening the doors to admire them! Melissa has great ideas for better organization, but she checks in to make sure I like them. My living area finally feels like home. I will have them back to tackle the cellar and attic.

Melissa and her team member Alison did an outstanding job organizing our swag closet. They carefully counted each item, neatly folded all of the apparel, and brought order to a space that really needed it. Beyond just organizing, they also made thoughtful recommendations for improving storage and maximizing the space. Their attention to detail and initiative truly made a difference! Thank you
My Preferred Organizer is so efficient and skilled at what they do. I was in such a stressful situation but Melissa and her team came in worked diligently all the while checking in with me to make I was comfortable with the progress. To me their caring and concern was invaluable. They were prompt and attentive, but we did have fun too. Thank you so much Melissa & Gina for making an impossible situation possible.

I am so glad that we asked Melissa to come and organize our home! We are a college professor and a nurse with a preschooler and a toddler, and we've never been able to keep our first floor neat and tidy. Melissa completely reorganized our living room, kitchen, dining room, foyer, and my office, finding space I didn't know we had and making homes for all of our important things. I had sort of given up hope on ever getting rid of our mess, but thanks to Melissa, our home feels like a home again. She's kind and thoughtful, and listens to our needs, and it's fun to work with her, too!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I charge by the hour, but work efficiently to get the job done!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to be friendly and relate to my clients, make them feel comfortable-with no judgement. Typically, I will ask for pictures of the space we are going to be working on. I then discuss what their goal is for the space and how we can accomplish that.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of NAPO, and currently taking classes to gain more experience. I have been organizing for years.
