This review is LONG overdue! Our family loves and ABSOLUTELY misses Jenn!!! Was it 6yrs(?) ago she…read morejoined our family's get-er-done team. Over the years, Jenn helped our family move houses three times in the bay area and our most recent move to Los Angeles. While we lived in the bay area, Jenn planned and executed several family birthday parties - even one big shindig out-of-state. She set up and took down all our holiday decorations; our little guy ALWAYS looked forward to her coming so he could be her little assistant. Jenn is so super awesome that she graciously agreed to fly down to our L.A. home to help oversee the unpacking and help get us settled in to our new house while she was nearing the end of her pregnancy. Jenn played a HUGE part of making our family's happy memories wonderful; I highly encourage you to add her to your family's awesome memory-making team too!

She is down to earth, finds cost saving ways to doing things and has a large depth of talent in what she can offer you. Off Your Plate has not only got me organized but also helped me as a personal assistant when my work load was too much or I would rather be with my baby at the park than taking things to goodwill. Just try it. You will not be sorry.

I had Kristen at Bella Concierge coordinate my wedding reception and she was wonderful!…read more We were on a pretty tight budget, and so we had a very DIY wedding from start to finish. But no one wants to work on organizing their wedding (putting out the tablecloths, lighting the candles, refilling the food and drink) at their own wedding party, right?!? We looked all over for coordinators and most were either out of our price range or they were insulted that you would even suggest they not plan the whole thing from start to finish. Kristen was a refreshing change from that . Not only did she work within our stated budget, she actually *liked* the fact that we had been working on the wedding ourselves and giving it our own personality. And she stressed over and over again that no matter what, she was going to make sure we enjoyed our special day and didn't have to work on it. And she was right! She had everything set up beautifully when we arrived, the food was out, the people were drinking and it all looked seamless. I didn't worry about a thing all evening. Every detail was managed impeccably and all I had to do was visit with my friends and eat and drink. When the party was over, my husband and I left and she stayed to clean up. Next week, our deposit arrived fully intact from the venue. So, not only was the party a success, clean up was, too! I highly recommend Bella Concierge to anyone who needs a highly ORGANIZED, FRIENDLY, and DEDICATED coordinator or planner for any event. Kristen is the BEST!

Some background, 4 years ago I moved into our current place--bloated, pregnant, cranky, over the…read morewhole "nesting" thing. So, anything that I couldn't figure out a place for immediately got shoved into the garage. Well, 4 years later in planning for my 4-year old's small, home birthday party my procrastination gave me a nice wake-up call. Waking up in a cold sweat (and traveling for work, to boot!) I had to figure out how to plan this party AND go through years of junk in my garage. AAAAAHHH. Enter Jamie from Herding Cats Concierge. We first met after work to discuss the details (She went out of HER way to meet with me. How awesome is that?). Then, she came over on the weekend when I banished the boys from the house. It was almost like meeting with a therapist. Did I need that box of junk that I didn't look at for 4 years. YES! (Well, ok...maybe not.)Do I really need this large box that used to hold our Mac when we first bought it? NO! Ok, I'll strong-arm the hubby to get rid of it (Read: Asked very nicely). On and on. One box at a time. Jamie was ultra patient and understanding. (that pantry photo is mine. have to post the before photo). Overall, I plan on contacting Jamie again. AND, I plan on giving friends the gift of her services! (Yes, my good friends. I have judged your homes/apartments. Sorry!) So I give Herding Cats Concierge two thumbs up, a fist bump, a high five and a race around the garage (that is now easier to run around in--ask my 4 year old).

Simply put, Jamie gets a very wide range of stuff done very well, on time, every time…read more I'm self-employed and the administrative side of my business overwhelms me every few months, like clockwork. **But not since I hired Jamie.** She's an exceptional virtual assistant - she's set up and maintains my digital files, handles basic website matters, billing/expense-related issues, and a heck of a lot more. Her strong business background means she "gets it". She's accustomed to running a tight ship - plus efficient, friendly, non-judgmental, and extremely trustworthy. I trust her with my credit card number, my ssn, and all kinds of confidential information. Whatever your organizational/administrative/nagging needs are, toss them Jamie's way. You'll be so glad you did.

Tl;dr: Nicoll is AMAZING and clearly knows what she's doing when it comes to professionally…read moreorganizing your home! Read on below if you want more details about the whole process. So...here's the thing about me. I love stuff. I love having a variety of stuff. I love having colorful pens, cute bags, books...you name it, and I probably started collecting some of it at some point. I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with wanting to have and own those things. But what I did notice was that the sheer amount of that stuff was really starting to stress me out. Things didn't have a place. My closet and dresser and drawers were stuffed to the brim. I found it difficult to enjoy these fun things I owned because they were mixed in with other things I didn't enjoy or use anymore. I found that I was hanging onto so many items for years "just in case," and the case would never arrive. I'd tried for years with things like the minimalist challenge and reading self help books to try and get rid of things, but I couldn't seem to make a dent. That's where Nicoll came in. My partner helped me find Nicoll on Yelp and connected the two of us together. We had an introductory phone call where she asked me some questions, and I shared my frustrations with getting rid of things and really needing help with it. We ended up making an appointment for a week later where she showed up with her toolkit and bag of bags for donations. We did a little walk around and I shared areas of stress for me and what I wanted out of the space, which was to know where everything was and to know what I owned. After the intro assessment we dove right in. In the next few hours we: ⁃ Took EVERYTHING out of my closet and purged SO much of it. We went piece by piece and she helped ask clarifying questions (when did I last wear it? Do I like it?) and could usually pick up on if I actually liked something. I noticed patterns of how I reacted when I loved something vs when I wasn't sure or was sort of convincing myself. This is an exercise I tried doing before on my own, but when there's someone standing there, who you paid to help you, who's not attached to your stuff....let me tell you, it changes the game. I found myself deciding to donate (and sometimes sell) what must have been at least a third of my closet (clothes, hats, bags, electronics, etc). ⁃ She busted out her label maker and helped organize and label shelves in categories that made sense. Now I know where everything is! ⁃ She packed up all the items I decided to donate into bags and packed them into her car. It ended up being about 15 bags of things which was absolutely wild to me. Nicoll taking these bags out of my house was a game changer, because there have been many times I've decided to donate items that just end up sitting there in bags for months! I noticed that night going to bed that my room felt emptier, in a really good way. It felt calmer, cleaner, and like I could breathe a bit easier. Some people might read this and think that they shouldn't have to hire someone to help them organize. I know for myself that I hit a wall when it came to organizing on my own, and I needed to ask for help. I'm so glad I did, because it changed my life and my relationship with "stuff." I'm confident that Nicoll will be able to help you if you need it, and I cannot recommend her enough!

She helped me get straight to work purging, organized my awkward old-house spaces, and packed up all my donations and e-waste when she left leaving the house feeling so free. Highly recommend!

Two words that come to mind when I think about working with Kendra are dynamo and miracle worker!…read moreShe transformed my house top to bottom. Using a process she has honed from her years of experience she is keenly aware of the challenges people face when going through their stuff and making decisions on what to keep, donate or throw out. She intuitively knows when she needs to be directive and honest or gentle and inquisitive. Going through one's belongings and organizing the house is hard work but with Kendra it was inspiring and fun. I feel incredibly grateful for her hard work and dedication and I'm inspired to keep my place looking as good as she made it. Thank you, Kendra!

I was carrying clutter from house to house with every move. In four hours Kendra did her magic and my life was all better. Having used other organizers you have no idea how rare it is to find someone to gets so much done in so little time. I'm trying to book her as a birthday gift for my sister now.

Not to be dramatic but Miss Clutter is life changing! I needed help with my living space because it…read morewas cluttered with toys and books and no matter how hard we tried we couldn't keep it organized (we have a 3 and 5 year old) We tried to organize ourselves but it didn't work so I was curious when I discovered Miss Clutter because in my mind I was thinking "what can they do differently" And they exceeded my expectations and it's like they are magic! The first step was Danielle came to our home for the initial assessment which was helpful and so worth the additional cost because she helped us brainstorm so we could get ready for they came for the actual declutter and organization. She just has the eye for where things can go and how to reuse what you have to make it work. She says she's not an interior designer but she does appreciate "eye candy" so to me that's all I want. After meeting with her I knew we wanted to use her and her company to help! Also side note- Danielle is just the sweetest person and when I met her I just felt like she was an old friend that I hadn't seen in a long time, you'll love her! The second step was she gave us a wishlist and we ordered things so it would be here and ready! Danielle was awesome with giving different suggestions for bins ect so that it would match the aesthetic needs I was looking for. She also brought things from the container store on the actual day of the decluttering. The third step was the actual process of cluttering and organizing ! We had Fernanda and Klara come and they were nothing short of spectacular! They were so friendly and kind and loved my kids and dog! They are both hard workers and I know we'll use miss clutter again in the future and I want both of them to come to my home! They were efficient and so organized and had great ideas for items I didn't quite have places for. After the whole process was completed my kids have been able to put things back where they are supposed to go and my living room is not a mess anymore and it honestly feels like a miracle! I can't thank Miss clutter and the whole team enough! I will be using them again in the future and if my husband gifted me miss clutter for a birthday-anniversary I would be thrilled because an organized house = organized mind set = happy wife = happy life

UPDATE: Literally as I posted this review, I got a call from Danielle. She offered me a discount…read morefor the disappointment or her time and expertise for the systems I need in place. I am floored by her customer service and true desire to deliver for her clients. I stand by my experience, but stand by even more by Danielle's desire to deliver to her clients. *** Miss Clutter sends hard-working people to your home to organize things. I was a bit disappointed by the experience, because what I truly needed were systems put in place better than what I already had in place. The lead organizer did suggest a wonderful fix for an issue I had, so I appreciated and was grateful for her thoughts on the kids' art corner. Really grateful fix with furniture I already had in the home. Wonderful win! But I didn't get any other suggestions or any issue-spotting from the lead, nor suggestions on how to improve flow in the home. I suppose my own experience with other declutter businesses--like House of Love with Colleen Collins--outshined this one because I am a tired mom who needs someone to lend their mental energy to figure things out for me: how to better organize the kids' clothes, how to create flow for my own clothes and how to create a more peaceful office. Instead, I found myself directing the helpers on what I wanted because they did not have much to add in terms of solutions or issue-spotting. Even in terms of decluttering, when I asked whether I should get rid of a particular item, the answer was "It is up to you." I know it is up to me, but o need your help. That is why I'm spending thousands of dollars on help: because I am tired and need your advice and help to declutter, and see if I have issues in my home. Danielle said she could see several issues in my home based on the videos I sent her, but I didn't really get any advice on those issues. I suppose that is why it is really helpful having Danielle's input, but she never made it. She said she was going to stop by, but was unable to. I texted her afterwards, and she sent me some entryway products, but that was the extent of her input. Another pain point was when I needed to declutter the kid bookshelf. The lead suggested I look through it and see what I wanted to get rid of. I had to ask her to remove all the books so that I could go through them one by one, then have them put them back. I know it was the end of the day, but we had at least 30 minutes and I was surprised that I had to request them to remove the items. It's hard to declutter a bookshelf when the books are stacked on the shelf. There were other examples of how I had to ask them to remove all the items so I can make decluttering choices. They did not ask whether I had other kid books/clothes/items in any part of the house, so there might have been items that missed review. As long as you come into the situation knowing that it might just be people organizing, you'll have a great experience. They make everything look beautiful and clean. I'm a mom of two kids, so the places that only saw things folded and put back will sadly last for a couple of weeks only, but if that is your aim, then you've found the right business. I hate to write a review like this, because the three people worked SO HARD and were so kind. But I felt like I was sold on one product and given another for the same expensive price tag.
