Organizing Concierge: Testimonials

“Jackie is a miracle worker. She is professional, kind, organized, systems-oriented, non-judgmental and clear about expectations and work. She listened to all my needs, accomplished tasks with me that I'd put off for 25 years, in record time and has changed my life. She has a vast resource of contractors, handymen etc which she immediately put into action to help me.

The day after, she accomplished miracles in our bedroom and garage and backyard, I felt like someone had freed me . She's coming back next week to tackle our study and filing system, and I am EXCITED.

Call her ASAP because her calendar is going to be booked a year in advance :) Thank you, Jackie, for helping me get peace of mind,and soul and giving me time to do my work in the world, rather than worry.”

TESTIMONIALS

“I've met 2 kinds of organizers - ones that waste my time and money, and ones like Jackie Bocian...

I hired Jackie to organize my office about 2 years ago because it was a cluttered mess. It hampered my work, and quite frankly, embarrassed me.

Without judgement, and in her up-beat positve manner, Jackie helped me transform my room! She organized a filing system that I use to this day. She doesn't waste a second, and she had ideas for rearranging the furniture, which I hadn't thought of, and really made better use of the space.

When my teenage son saw my room, he asked if Jackie could help him! She worked with him to turn his room inside out. Now he could actually use his room to study in, as opposed to the dining room table. Furthermore, she is super resourceful - finding items he needed on Craigslist, as well as having access to a handyman and any other kind of service - i.e. cleaning or whatever, that was needed. Well, my son was so happy, he told his grandparents in San Francisco...

Jackie went to my mother's house in SF, and totally cleaned out their basement to turn it from a storage room full of clutter, to a working office space. My mother loved her, and recommended her to her neighbors!

I cannot sing enough praises for Jackie. She works like a tornado, yet is sensitive to her client's needs. She is very responsive, responsible and trustworthy. Jackie provides excellent value and I can't wait to have her back to start another project.”

“Dear Jackie,

I think of you every day with gratitude for your efforts on behalf of our daughter’s medical bills. You are an amazing person and I am so happy to have met you.

One of the reasons I think of you these days is that I am using your tips to get more organized. I still want to eventually hire you to do more but, just knowing what you have accomplished so far has helped me focus on what I need to do to get into better organizational shape. It is helping me deal with the difficulties of our financial situation and taxes and bills that continue to come in for our daughter. She is in remission but will have several check ups a year and we need to be on top of the bills. You more than helped me get a handle on it.

Warm regards,

“I had 17 years of things in my teaching cabinets thrown in for years and was having trouble finding things. I was desparate and needed help.

Jackie was very responsive to my email and phone call. We had a 30 minute initial phone contact about what i wanted for first project, the four huge stuffed cabinets. She suggested i go out and buy clear, plastic tubs to store items i would keep, large stickers and black markers.

During the 3 hours we got many, many hours of work done. She is a wizard and performs magic.

The main solution for any clutter and organization is keeping things in proper spots and having systems. She empowered me to keep things organized. So far so good - after one month.

We completed two full days’ work (at least) in 3 packed hours. Her price is very, very, reasonable. In just 3 hours I reduced my stress level by 100%; I open my cabinets a dozen times a day to admire my work, I can find everything i need within 60 seconds as each tub has been labelled, and stacked according to the designated academic area.

I want to know why i was so hesitant to do this at all, it took me several years to look for an organizer because i was procrastinating and thinking i could do this myself. She is a gem. I have recommended her to all our teachers who have years of supplies and teaching manipulatives stacked in their crowded room.

I am planning to have her come to help me with daily paperwork and my desk and files after the year ends. As a primary teacher i get tons of forms, homework, paperwork to fill out etc. I spend my entire day teaching and helping students on a one to one basis, by the end of the day my desk looks like a hurricane hit it. She has a terrific system of filing, flinging etc. I know when she comes this will bring me my "last but not least" peace of mind.”
