A professional organizer can provide ideas, information, structure, solutions, and systems, which can increase productivity, reduce stress, and create a newfound freedom and sense of being in control.
Why would I want to hire a NAPO organizer versus a non-NAPO organizer?
The National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) is recognized as the association for organizers. NAPO offers organizers opportunities to sharpen their skills through ongoing education and professional development. NAPO has a Code of Ethics by which members are expected to abide. A professional organizer who is a NAPO member has made a commitment to his/her business and thus to you, the client.
How do I select a professional organizer?
When working with a professional organizer, it is important to choose a person with whom you are comfortable and understands your goals and priorities. The p.o. will typically ask you some questions to get a clearer understanding of the organizing challenges you are facing. You may want to interview several organizers to determine the best fit for your situation. Also, click here for more Frequently Asked Questions page.
Here are some questions you may want to ask:
1.
How long have you been in business?
2.
What is your specialty or particular area of expertise, if any?
3.
Are you member of National Association of Professional Organizers? (If you got the name from a NAPO website, the p.o. is a NAPO member.)
