“Jennifer is a real treasure. We hired her when we needed more help than we’ve ever needed before to move the contents our entire home. For a reasonable fee, Jennifer provided not just packing help but light cleaning, trips to the grocery store, and some yummy home cooking now and again. When we needed more boxes and packing material, Jennifer would show up with them without our having to ask. She saved us on moving day and got us through one of the most stressful times of our lives. She’s personable, diligent, non-judgmental, caring, a quick study, and hard-working. Always ready to help in any way she can!”

“I was feeling so stuck, trying to get 2 storage units down to one unit. Synchronistically, I found Jennifer’s notice on Next Door, and I took a leap of faith and called her. What could have been a total pain turned into an inspiring productive few days. Beyond the original goal of getting down to one unit, we also were able to organize my apartment, and even had a good time getting it done. Jennifer has many resources of where to donate different types of things, making sure my excesses were used for someone who needs it without any feeling of being judged. I am so glad I made that first call and followed through with continued organizing. Thank you so much Jennifer, you have made my life so much easier!
