We're both busy, and organizing, sorting, and reducing are pretty much the last things you want to spend your free time doing! I chose Time Butler based on the excellent reviews and Lisa's responsiveness, and I immediately appreciated her clear, direct communication style. I brought her in for three hours, and we tackled the kitchen and pantry. While we already had a basic organizational structure in place, Lisa took it to a whole new level. She brought thoughtful suggestions based on her deep expertise and experience, and made the spaces so much more functional and well organized. With a bit of time left, she also coached me on how to tackle the other areas on my own, which was incredibly helpful. I won't hesitate to hire her again. Five-star recommendation with zero hesitation!

Carmela is a doll! We found simplify off of a Plum District deal and wow, what a service. I…read morehonestly wish I had an extra $120-$240 a month so I could have this service almost all month all the time. First of all, Carmela sits with you and evaluates what your needs are. She suggests what may help you best and then you get back to her about appt times, what you want done, etc. We ended up having someone come help with basic household stuff (folding laundry, purging a closet, and helping me organize my daughter's room). Robin came out and she was great. She kept me on task (my big cleaning fault, I get distracted and start 4 cleaning project and don't finish one). She was very easy to work with and could definitely trust her to do the job when i wasn't there. In a tough economy a service like this is a tough sell I know. However, the prices are reasonable enough to fit into a non-paycheck to paycheck house (you've got a bit of a buffer). I also think this is a GREAT gift for mother's day, anniversaries, etc. Any lady (or man) you know who needs just a few more hours in the week to get it all done AND enjoy life, Simplify is the place to call. Hope to give you ladies a call again soon!

Informational Summary of Simplify from Co-Founder:…read more Hiring help for your household tasks is a great investment in yourself and your family - shouldering all your own household chores can cost you more than you realize.

We've done our homework, understand the process, and provide you with the peace of mind you deserve while supporting your lifestyle. "Conventional wisdom tells us household help is a luxury for the wealthy. But one of the most effective time management techniques is actually a money-management technique: Pay someone else to do the tasks you don't want to do, so you're free to do what really matters and what you do well. Break the vicious cycle of spending for luxury items that don't free up your time and then having to work harder and longer to pay for them. Instead, spend your money on tools that will help you build the life you've dreamed of. Now that's the real luxury" ~ Kathy Fitzgerald Sherman, author of "A Housekeeper Is Cheaper Than a Divorce: Why You CAN Afford to Hire Help and How to Get It" To learn more visit us online at: www.simplifyhomesolutions.com or give us a call directly at 408-689-7775.

I'm independent and self-sufficient and this was the first time I enliste someone's help on matters like this. She made it easy for me. When I contacted her, she was quick to respond and very professional. When I spoke with her on the phone, it seemed that she knew what she was doing and had solid experience. She came across as professional and friendly, competent, clear, and ready to get down to business. I've worked in a few different industries in my adult life and have interviewed prospective employees. My intuition on these things has tended to be solid. Ashley fit the bill. She came across as professional and trustworthy. She described her process for handling sensitive information, which I appreciated. She was also very understanding about a recent death in the family that contributed to my overwhelm. We did all the work remotely. She got me up to speed on a shared password system, a project management system, and kept active lists of what we were each doing. This kept my head clear and me on task. She made things easy, and all the work was completed in time. I'm very grateful to Ashley. I highly recommend her to make your life and/or business much easier!

Nurse Dilara advocated for my dad with his doctor when anything wasn't quite right, drew blood for tests, filled pill boxes, and made sure med refills were up-to-date. Really appreciated having her in our corner. PT Abha and OT Ryan were super professional and helpful. Abha spoke loudly and clearly, which was super helpful for my hard-of-hearing dad. We decided to go with caregivers from ProHealth as well and have worked with some very competent, caring people. They are the true heroes who come day in and day out to accompany Dad in running errands and at appointments, support him with meals and tasks around the house, and keep the house clean and tidy. I'm very thankful to everyone at ProHealth who has served my dad in one capacity or another!

There aren't many trusted rabbit sitters in the area considering the area has far more dog and cat…read moreowners (I get it as we also have a dog and cat ourselves!) Our rabbit is very important to us so I set out to find the best possible pet sitter in the area for peace of mind, that was when I stumbled upon Furry Friends Pet sitting. We boarded our beloved senior rabbit (who is a very sassy bun) for 11 days as we had to leave for an overseas trip. Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was! If you are looking for an experienced rabbit sitter in the area, I wouldn't hesitate to inquire here! Thank you so much for watching our bun! Photos below are from Barbara's daily updates.
