When It's Time to Let Go of the Stuff, I Help Hold the Memories
Whether you're helping a parent downsize, clearing out a lifetime of belongings, or just overwhelmed by the clutter, I walk beside you - one box at a time, one decision, one story at a time.
Here's How I Lighten Your Load
Whether it’s downsizing, decluttering, or walking down Memory Lane, I'm here to make your life easier - one job at a time.
Packing, Unpacking & Organizing
I'll help you sort, organize, declutter, and pack or unpack with care. Whether you're downsizing, moving into a smaller home, or ready to simplify your space, I'll bring calm to the chaos, one box at a time - with patience, empathy, and a gentle touch.
Downsizing Support & Life Transitions
Feeling overwhelmed by a lifetime of belongings? I'll help ease the emotional and physical stress of downsizing - offering guidance, support, and hands-on help as you decide what to keep, donate, or let go of. I'm here to honor your memories while we make room for the next chapter.
Decluttering for Peace of Mind
Even if you're not moving, clutter can make your home feel heavy. It can be one closet or the whole house - I'll help you let go of what's no longer serving you so your space feels safe, manageable, and yours again.
Tell Me If This Sounds Familiar...
You’re juggling more than one person should. You’re tired, overwhelmed, and wishing someone, anyone, could just help.
You’re stretched thin, but you know Mom + Dad still need love + care.
From errands and appointments for your own immediate family, to decluttering Mom's house before she downsizes, the to-do list keeps growing - and you’re exhausted from doing it all alone.
You’re trying to care for a loved one, but it’s taking a toll.
Whether it’s a parent, spouse, or neighbor - you want to help, but you need that support to help them.
You want peace of mind knowing someone reliable will show up.
You're not looking for just anyone - you're looking for someone who actually cares and gets it right.
If you said “yes” to any of the above, then you’re in the right place - and I've got you.
Support That Feels Like Family
Whether you're downsizing, preparing for a move, or just need a steady hand – I'm here to help, like family would.

The Many Ways I'm Here to Help
Helping Hand on Demand isn’t just one kind of help - it’s whatever you need, when you need it most. Here’s a glimpse of what I'll help with.
Sorting Through a Lifetime
When everything feels overwhelming, I help make sense of it. I walk seniors and their families through the emotional process of deciding what to keep, what to let go, and how to move forward without guilt. Piece by piece, story by story, we tackle it together.
Preparing for a Move
Downsizing isn't just logistics - it's personal. From the first conversation to the final packed box, I guide the process with patience, care, and a steady hand. I'm not just helping with a move - I'm helping make the transition smoother and less painful.
Making Room to Breathe
Even if there's no move planned, clutter can feel heavy. Whether it's for safety, peace of mind, or just needing to feel less buried, I help clear space without clearing out your history. One drawer, one closet, one room at a time.
Removing the Emotional Roadblocks
Clutter isn't always about laziness or mess - it's about memories. I've sat with clients who were doing just fine until they opened a box and found a card from a late spouse, or a work badge from a career that used to define them. I know how to gently guide people through the moments that bring everything to a halt.
Hands-On, Start to Finish
I don't outsource. I don't send a team. You get me every time. This isn't a franchise, and it's not a rush job. I'm with you from the first "I think I'm ready" to the final "I didn't think I could do this." Whether it takes 10 hours or 50, I'm in with you.
Need Help But Not Sure Where to Start?
That's normal. Most people aren't. If you're overwhelmed, unsure, or avoiding a project because it feels "too big," let's just talk. I'll ask the right questions, help you see the next step, and walk beside you until it's done.
TESTIMONIALS
Kind Words from Families Who Trust Me
"Cheryl came to the rescue of one of my real estate clients who needed help getting things packed to put into storage. She was a Godsend and got the job done in a very short timeframe. Not only that, she knew how to handle the emotional ups and downs of my elderly client during the process. Highly recommend her services!"
Tanya B.
"We hired Cheryl to assist a client with decluttering and packing for a move to assisted living. She did an excellent job helping our client downsize her wardrobe and wrapped, packed, and labeled each box very carefully. We are extremely pleased with her thoughtful work and will be sure to use her again when the need arises!"

Frequently Asked Questions
How are your services different from home healthcare?
My work is focused on helping people through transitions - sorting, downsizing, decluttering. It’s about making space feel manageable again, not about health or hygiene. I don’t offer medical care, personal care, or housekeeping.
Can your services help my loved one stay in their home longer?
Of course. My goal is to make their current home livable, safe, and comfortable. If they're moving or downsizing, I'm here to help guide that process too with a gentle, steady hand.
Can you help even if we're not moving - just trying to declutter?
Absolutely. Many of my clients aren’t moving at all - they just want their space to feel lighter, safer, or easier to manage. Whether it’s a single room or the whole house, I can help sort, organize, and simplify.
What if we're not sure where to start?
That’s normal. Most people feel stuck before they call me. I’ll ask the right questions, help you figure out your priorities, and create a step-by-step plan so the project finally feels doable.
Do you pack and unpack too, or just help sort?
I do all of it. I help with the emotional part - deciding what to keep and what to let go - and the physical part, like packing boxes and setting up your new space after a move. I’m with you from “we don’t know where to start” to “we’re finally settled.”
Can I hire you for just a single project?
Of course! Whether you need help for a few hours or a few weeks, I offer flexible support based on your needs. There’s no long-term contract or ongoing obligation.
I'm already stretched so thin. How can you make this easier for our family?
I take the logistics, stress, and decision-fatigue off your plate. You don’t have to do it all alone. Whether you're helping a parent transition or trying to manage your own home, I step in with calm, experienced support.
Are you insured?
Yes, I am fully insured for your peace of mind and protection.
What makes Helping Hand on Demand different?
You get me - not a crew, not a franchise, not someone rushing to the next job. I work directly with you from start to finish. I don’t outsource or pass you off. I show up when I say I will, do what I say I’ll do, and treat your space and story with care.
