Downsize and organise - Gillian

Meet Gillian

Working in the aged care sector several years ago, I noticed there were a lot of older women living in homes with sometimes three generations of things.

When they wanted to downsize, many were simply overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start. My business came into being primarily to assist with this process. I love working with seniors and I love helping people. It would be my pleasure to help you or your parents through this transition to the next phase of life.

I also love a good tidy up - reclaiming someone's space with a good declutter is very satisfying. I work with all sorts of people culling wardrobes, re-organising pantries and reclaiming garages so cars can park in them again! I can help you with any area in your home that needs the wave of a wand of a professional organiser.

I get a lot of joy from helping people so if you need assistance reclaiming your space, it would be my pleasure to give you a hand.

Downsize and organise - recycling

Recycle & Repurpose

The other thing I'm passionate about is saving our planet. I'm big on recycling, re-purposing and avoiding landfill as much as possible. When I work on estate clearing, I separate out all recyclable material which helps the planet, but also saves my clients money as well.

After a decluttering session, for items to be donated, I have a network of places where I can pass things on and also love giving unwanted items to people who really need them. I can also help sell items as well.

Our Client Testimonials

Gillian was an absolute godsend in helping me unpack and settle into my new home in Moss Vale. She not only organised all my books, cds and dvds into shelves and sorted out my kitchen and bathroom, but she and her team took away and recycled a garage full of cardboard boxes as well! All done with such care and positivity - absolutely nothing was too difficult, or too much trouble. I would highly recommend her! Thank you so much Gillian.

Gillian's expertise and professionalism was evident from our first email interaction. The end result was an incredibly efficient and well organised unpack - we could not have asked for a smoother move. To know there is someone out there who can help manage that stressful time of moving and unpacking is such an advantage. Thank you, Gillian - you deserve more than five stars!

I can't thank Gillian enough for taking on the project of guiding my 88-year-old mum through relocating. Gillian and her assistant, Angela, helped get the house ready for sale, then worked with mum to decide what to take to her new serviced apartment. They organized everything in the house for moving, sale, donation or - when all else failed - the tip. They were wonderfully kind and patient with mum and with me! I highly recommend this business.

Gillian has assisted me several times with the decluttering and reorganisation of a variety of spaces, from walk in wardrobes, to storage spaces, from bathrooms and linen cupboards, to moving out / moving in projects. Her lovely, calm nature belies a strong determination and focus to help you kick some serious home organisation goals.

WOW! What a whizz! Gillian was motivated and swift moving. Two extremely cluttered rooms done! Red Cross boxes packed and son's remaining goods and chattels removed. How AMAZING! I was overwhelmed and didn't know where to start. Can't wait for her to come back to work on the rest of the house. I am forever grateful that I found Daisy Declutter.

Before Gillian came along I was an empty-nester, alone in a four bedroom house full of the whole family’s abandoned belongings. Needless to say my little house had well and truly exceeded its storage capacity and I was feeling overwhelmed by it. Having someone beside me with fresh eyes and no emotional attachment was the best decision I made. If you think you need help to declutter, do it! Getting things sorted is such a relief. Magic! Thank you Gillian.

Gillian is amazing. She packed up my unit and unpacked the other end so carefully. She also came back the next day an helped me change all my address that needed updating. She is so easy to work with and lots of fun. Gillian is a true professional. We decluttered along the journey making downsizing so easy. I am so thrilled with the outcome. You could not find anyone more flexible and amiable to work through this process to see it to completion.

I can't speak highly enough of Gillian and Downsize and Organise! We moved from Sydney to the Southern Highlands and were overwhelmed with the amount of unpacking so we called Gillian and she came to the rescue the next day! Gillian is incredibly efficient, organised and an absolute pleasure to deal with. She knew exactly where to put things and within a day our house was looking great! I would highly recommend Gillian if you want to take the stress out of packing or unpacking. Thanks Gillian!

Chaos rained supreme at my home but at the end of the day the pantry, study, kitchen, lounge and laundry were places of calm and beauty. Not did she do all this but took all the excess to the charity shops. Gillian is an asset you would do well to invite into your home.

This woman is very inspiring. She was the push that I needed to let go of the clutter weighing me down. I have gotten rid of the excess and feel so much lighter.

Gillian is a true G-dsend. I'm disabled and can't do a lot for myself. She comes and in about 3 hours, she organises my flat into a semblance of organised order. And then takes away bags and bags of donations. I cannot recommend her enough. Almost 5 years now living in the Highlands, and she has come to organise me in the 2 different flats I've lived in. She has come whenever I call, and it's a sigh of relief each time she leaves. I have mobility problems and she makes my life so much easier and organised. She is a true 😇.

When confronted with moving house and downsizing, the professional, efficient assistance from Downsize & Organise rescued me from days of procrastination turning what could have nee an exhausting and depressing exercise into a constructive, liberating experience.

Commonly Asked Questions

For downsizing and estate clearing we work on a package price. For packing or other services we work on an hourly rate with 3 hours minimum. Please contact us for more information.

Cleaning is about making sure things are tidy and clean, while decluttering is removing unnecessary/unwanted items to free up space or clear away clutter.

I work with you to decide which items need to be re-homed and dispose of them for you if needed. I then re-organise your reclaimed space to leave you with a home you love coming home to.

This depends on a lot of things! I work on a 3 hour minimum basis and can achieve quite a lot in that time frame. 

A declutter service is designed to help you take control of a space by removing unwanted or unnecessary items.

I will donate to charity or give away via facebook or can help you to sell them if needed. I can also arrange charity pick ups for furniture. I try and avoid landfill as much as possible.
