My name is Lindsey and I offer cleaning and organizing services. I believe life is easier when things around you are organized. Your office, house, car or whatever it may be that helps you to be more successful. I love to help and see people get to that place. Cleaning is also a big part of that and I truly enjoy it as well. I can bring my own cleaning supplies and I am able to work weekends.
“Outstanding professionalism, and reliability.”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
