Glad Tidyings

Glad Tidyings Glad Tidyings offers multiple packages to fit a wide variety of client needs and budgets. Check below for rates and a description of services.

Starter Package

This package is recommended for clients who need one-on-one assistance with smaller projects (max limit 8 hours) or who have a close budget. It’s great for young professionals still in shared living environments. In lieu of a traditional consultation, clients will complete a more extensive pre-questionnaire before our session to maximize use of time. Depending on client needs, we

can tailor the session to a set time limit, or I can provide a more traditional estimate. Not sure what 2-3 hours could do for you? This is a great way to learn the basics of getting organized in the home. Let me help you build a personalized cleaning schedule, or teach you how to organize a planner, or show you the proper way to tackle the household basics (how to fold sheets and towels, how to clean a bathtub, how to maintain a vacuum cleaner, etc.) Tell me what you want to accomplish, and we’ll find a way to make it work in your time frame. Rate: $25/hour


Bulk Clearance Package

This package is for clients with an attic, garage, or other large space packed with stuff who don’t even know where to start. After an initial consultation to determine categories for sorting items and other rules for the project, I can work with or without the client’s help to clear out the area. The client is responsible for proper disposal of all trash, but I can assist with the resale or donation of any unwanted items as approved by the client. At this time, I am not charging commision on the resale value of any projects. One-time consultation fee: $20
Rate: $35/hour


Full House Package (Compact)

This package is recommended for clients who need help with organization in multiple rooms and areas of their home and want it all done in one big go. After the client completes a pre-questionnaire by e-mail, we would begin with a consultation to determine individual needs and which spaces to include in the project, from which we can estimate how many hours of work it should take and how to divide it up over the course of a few days if necessary. I also recommend scheduling 2-3 follow-up appointments to assess progress and make adjustments where needed. If the client is able to be present during the sessions, I recommend that we work together closely in at least one room to begin so that I can explain my process and show how it’s done. In the short term, this will save time and money for the client, and in the long term, understanding how organization works will help you improve your ability to maintain clutter-free spaces. If the client is unable to be present, we will discuss guidelines for sorting and disposal during our consultation, and nothing will be discarded without final approval from the client. One-time consultation fee: $20
Rate: $25/hour
Follow-up appointments: $20/each


Full House Package (Extended)

This package is recommended for clients who need help with organization in multiple rooms and areas of their house and would prefer to focus on specific projects over time. After the client completes a pre-questionnaire by e-mail, we would begin with a consultation to determine the individual needs and preferences of the client and to set a regular schedule. I recommend 4-6 hours one day a week. For an additional fee, I can also assist with light housework during my sessions as prearranged with the client. This includes basic cleaning, laundry, straightening rooms, and pet care. One-time consultation fee: $20
Standard rate: $25/hr
Housework rate: $35/hr


Closet Special

This package is ideal for the client who can never seem to get a handle on their clothing storage. After the client completes a pre-questionnaire by e-mail, we would meet for a consultation to determine individual needs and preferences and to set guidelines for sorting and disposal. The project would focus on optimizing the efficiency of closet and dresser space, as well as laundry storage, making it easier for the client to see what they have and find the pieces they love. One-time consultation fee: $20
Rate: $20/hr


Kitchen Special

This package is ideal for the client with heavy traffic and low order in their kitchen and pantry. After the client completes a pre-questionnaire by e-mail, we would meet for a consultation to discuss individual preferences and to determine a time estimate for the project based on zones. (Target zones for kitchens include cabinets, counters, refrigerators, pantries, under-sink space, etc.) The goal is to optimize efficiency so that meal prep, cooking, and cleaning are made easier and less time-consuming. One-time consultation fee: $20
Rate: $20/hr

Greetings, friends! I apologize for the long silence in recent weeks; I was busy with wedding and honeymoon preparations, but now we're home and business can resume. That means openings for new clients in the Charleston area (call or e-mail today if you're interested in scheduling a consultation). For those of you further away, I am still seeking Skype service volunteers. Also, be on the lookout for updates to this page, as well as a new blog post (at last!) this Friday.

Volunteers must be able to access Skype from home and be willing to work following a personalized plan for success. Contact [email protected] if you are interested in setting up an appointment.
