I pride myself in being your light at the end of the tunnel. We have all been there, when it seems like there are just not enough hours in the day to function let alone have the time to organize, pack for a move, or unpack after one. No need to stress, I am the best and I can make your life that much easier if you put your trust in me! We require no direction from you which leaves you free to do as you need. We tackle things with with you present or not!

Shawna and Tiffany are amazing! Not only did they organize my master closet and pantry in such a beautiful way, they were also so friendly and relatable. I recommend Neat as can be for anyone that needs ANY organization in their life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Make sure they are suitable for you because every organizer is different, make sure it is passion and not just a payday. Make sure their methods match your needs. Make sure you get specifics, for example I take before and after photos unless I am told otherwise. Make sure you are at peace with your decision and make sure your organizer is genuine because you get the best results from those that genuinely love what they do!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A conversation over the phone is how I typically start, that way I can hear what a client is needing, then I have you send photos or we FaceTime if possible so I can see the space or spaces needing the work
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
There is a 4 hour minimum requirement if you live out of the Stanislaus County Area. We do not haul away trash items under any circumstances. There is a booking fee required to guarantee your time and date. The booking fee is the equivalent of the drive time for the amount of organizers on the job, example if you are wanting 1 Organizer and the drive time is 2 hours then a booking fee of $110 must be submitted, if you are wanting 4 organizers and and the drive time is an hour and a half then $130 will need to be submitted. You are not being charged for our drive time as long as the job is not cancelled. Ultimately the booking fee goes towards your organizing session and is deducted in the end. If we show up and the job is cancelled or you have left to run an errand, you forfeit your booking fee. Once the booking fee is paid and there happens to be a problem that comes up for you, you have the ability to reschedule but it must be done prior to myself or my team getting on the road.
Pricing breakdown:
Lead Organizer $65 an hour, Additional organizer $35 per person, per hour
Packing/Unpacking $100 an hour (2 organizers), Additional organizer $35 per person, per hour
Hoarding Lead $85 an hour, Additional organizer $35 per person, per hour
If you live in an area where parking is not provided and there are fees for parking, that amount will be added to your total. My company does not charge for travel time or gas but toll booth charges are an added addition to your total. Our rates never change unless we encounter live bugs such as mice, roaches, silverfish, bed bugs, etc. In that instance we will discuss the new rate and have a solid agreement before moving forward.
What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?
1. What one is wanting done? 2. How much time is allotted for the project? 3. What is the budget for the project? 4. If they are emotionally ready for said project? 5. If they have all items needed for the project or will shopping need to be done?
How did you get started doing this type of work?
It all started in my home. Friends would come over and say how well put my home was to have children, then they would ask for my assistance in getting their home and space more manageable and efficient. After that, I began to advertise my services and it became a huge deal. I love what I do! At one point in my life I believed having OCD was a curse but is in fact a blessing in disguise because my mindset allows me the ability to creatively come up with ways to assist others which leaves them with a sigh of relief and stress free.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I have worked with a broad range of clients such as Working parents, Travelers, Gym goers, Stay at home mothers, Dancers, Firefighters, Hoarders, Chefs, Nurses, Doctors, CEO’s and many more.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My training comes from my everyday life. I am a mother of 5 active children and a husband who is a DJ that travels state to state. I do things that seem normal to me (astounding to others) to maximize on our living space and to create the most efficient space possible without taking away from my 7 personality household and that is better experience than any training or education can give me!
When do I get confirmation of an appointment?
Dates and times are not guaranteed until the deposit of $120 is received.
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App and Square.
