The Full Story

I am an organizing machine of a mama. I currently reside in the Capital Region of NY, after finally deciding to trade city life for a slower paced lifestyle. As an island girl, by way of the West Indies, I gravitate towards nature, calm and simplicity. This is translated in my approach to organizing. I believe tidiness is part of the journey, and living your best life is the goal.

 

In 2002, I moved from a small Caribbean island to NYC where I worked as a nanny for about 8 years. I loved working with the many families I encountered and enjoyed observing their lives and their rituals. I also enjoyed adding my special touch to help improve their lives. I felt motivated to move into corporate employment, which was rather short lived because I found out I was going to be a new mother.

​

I have never lived alone, so I have many years of experience in sharpening my organizational skills.

 

At that time, I was in a 450 square foot apartment. Living in small space is not new to me, so I adjusted very well to welcoming our newest family member into our space. I enjoyed modifying and enhancing the space to accommodate our expanding family. I also learned to embrace new techniques and strategies as a mother to maintain the homey feeling of our space.

​

After welcoming my second daughter, I went on to earned a BA in Psychology. This has given me a better understanding of how mental health, physical mobility, personal histories and changing circumstances can impact how people keep their homes. I am also building a career in human resources where I help people develop professionally.

​

With the move, I am truly embracing The Tidy Habit Life and philosophy. I am enjoying being in nature, writing, creating art and craft, catching up or re-watching all my quirky shows. I am getting better at living my best life and I hope to inspire you on my journey.
