Today we are featuring Charlotte and her home organisation business - Be Organised. By Charlotte, which aims to give parents and families achieve a physically tidy home and environment which benefits your wellbeing and souls!
I am based in HD8, Huddersfield but willing to travel within the West & South Yorkshire regions. I can also work with clients virtually where required / possible.
My number one aim for Be Organised. By Charlotte is to help people. I get great satisfaction in what I do once a job is complete and I see the joy on people’s face and the impact I have made to their home. I bring calm to chaos and people really benefit from what I can achieve, both physically and mentally. Its true what they say ... a tidy home is a tidy mind!
The most popular service I offer is a half day (3 hour) session to focus on one area of the home, usually either a wardrobe, kitchen or children’s play area / bedroom. In just 3 hours I can declutter with the client (helping to decide what to keep, donate and take to the tip), and then get to work on reorganising to make the space more functional in their home. I come prepared with storage solutions if required and happily take away all rubbish / donations on the day so you don’t have to.
Since I can remember I have loved to organise and reorganise; I have a to do list for everything and love to run a tight ship at home. Since having Rosie I have re-evaluated what I want to achieve in life and what makes me happy. Now I am leaving her behind in order to go to work, I needed to be doing something worthwhile to me and putting the hard work into something I love. This is how Be Organised was born ... life is too short not to do something you enjoy!
During covid-19 i have taken to doing more sessions virtually which has worked quite well for most projects. Its much better now I can work in people’s homes again though and provide a more hands on service. I will continue to take every safety measure, wearing a mask whenever I’m in the same room as a client, social distancing and carrying my own hand sanitizer to use regularly.
I offer a number of services that would benefit pregnant women, new mums or young families. These include: helping to set up for a new baby with nursery décor, clothes organisation, shopping list or equipment set up; help with day to day tasks such as home admin and finance management you might not have the time for; or declutter and organisation in the home including children play room / bedroom putting some useful storage solutions in place that they can use too to help you out.
Now I have a child of my own I think I’m most inspired by my own parents – not only for the childhood they provided me but also for the life skills and strong work ethic they instilled in us. Parenting is the hardest job in the world – constantly feeling the pressure to get the balance right ... I like to think my parents did a good job and hopefully I can do the same for Rosie.
I’ve never really been a big TV binge watcher. I’m currently watching a series called ‘Dead to me’ though on Netflix which I love!
My favourite self care activity is always a long hot bath. I shut the door to feel like I’ve really escaped, light a candle, sprinkle some bath salts and keep the hot water topped up ... bliss!
After living in Australia for 6 years I feel like I now appreciate Yorkshire even more than before. Its so so beautiful and full of hidden gems. On a weekend we love nothing more than a good walk out in the countryside followed by a nice lunch in a ‘proper’ pub.
