Simple Routines by Kate LLC

Introduction: Don't Just Cope When You Can Thrive! I am a kind and caring organizer who specializes in helping seniors manage their homes. My goal is to help you feel good in your space and have the items you need accessible and easy to reach when you need them. I never try to talk you into parting with items that have meaning to you! I will help you find a place to store them. I love getting to know my clients! I enjoy hearing your stories and learning about your families and your lives. Through this interaction, I start to learn about your daily routines and activities and I use this information to help create the spaces that will make your life easier. I know having a stranger come into your home can be intimidating and I do my best to alleviate as much stress as possible. I’m happy to chat on the phone as many times as needed leading up to our first session to help put you at ease! During our sessions, I will pull out the items that make your space feel unmanageable and we’ll talk about how you use them, if you use them, and how they would be easiest for you. I do all the heavy lifting - I just need your input! If you have items you are ready to donate, I can take small amounts of boxes and bags to the donation center for you, and I can give you direction on who to contact for larger items and furniture. A typical session is 3-4 hours. I find that most of my clients are ready for a break after the 4 hour mark. Sorting, reminiscing, and making decisions can be emotional work! Many of my clients have me come back on a regular basis (often monthly or bi-weekly) to work on different areas of their home. I have been in business for over a year now, and the majority of my clients are seniors who just need a little help (or sometimes a lot of help) to make their home a place they love again. Although organizing is my main goal, I am happy to pitch in when something extra is needed. Some of the tasks I have helped with include: - Changing refrigerator water filters - Changing batteries in remotes, thermometers, and other small appliances - Hanging small pictures - Reworking and labeling cords and cables to eliminate tangles - Taking out trash, running the vacuum, and wiping down shelves and cabinets as needed - Putting up/taking down holiday decorations - Changing light bulbs I typically book up about 2 weeks out, often because so many of my clients want me to come on a regular basis. Feel free to get in touch with me to talk about your home and your needs!
