About
My name is Emmy and I own Essential Edit. For twelve years, I have helped keep homes tidy, organized and running smoothly. The goal is to bring a sense of calm to your busy life.
I have worked for different organizing companies on the West Coast and East Coast and truly love being a professional organizer. My work is high quality and efficient. It is fun for me to help people declutter and organize their belongings.
I believe everything should have its place. The goal is to have you breathe a deep sigh of relief when you see the new sense of order in your home. And I am pet friendly.

Hired on Thumbtack
I cannot say enough good things about my packing experience. Moving is incredibly overwhelming, especially during a major life transition, and having someone reliable, organized, calm, and hardworking made an enormous difference for me.
Everything was packed carefully and efficiently, and I truly felt supported throughout the process.
I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing packing or moving help and would use her again without hesitation.

Emmy showed up to organize my small kitchen with everything she would need. I have only a 32 inch pantry and now it all makes sense. Rescued my kitchen from a hot mess into an organized haven. I can find everything again. Next I’ll hire her to do my closet upstairs.

I have used Emmy’s services on multiple occasions. She has done everything from organizing 2 seamless moves coupled with stress-free unpacking help, to running errands, completing administrative tasks to support my business and helping with my teenage daughter. She is efficient and professional but beyond that she is an absolute pleasure to be around (with a good sense of humor. ) I would hire her again in a heartbeat.

Emmy organized my garage for me. It was a mess, but Emmy helped me got rid of “junk” and organized all tools, tarps, sprayers, fertilizers, etc. Everything is now labeled so it is easy to keep organized. I have since hired Essential Edit to organize my clothes closets.

After my Mother died, I was faced with clearing out 90 years of her belongings in a 3600 sq ft condo with no one to help me. I hired Emmy and it was the best decision I could have made. She came on time every day and was expert at packing breakable items for shipping to my home, and organizing the rest for the Estate Sale company. The Estate Sale person said she had never seen a home so well organized and prepared for a sale. Emmy was cheerful, helpful, and moved quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend her for any of your organizing needs.
