About: Cara   

Cara Persram - Professional Organizer in Canada. Experienced home organizer and stager.

Hello, I’m Cara, owner of The Passionate Organizer. The pleasure of uncluttered spaces and the ease of efficient functionality is priceless. I'm delighted to help people reach their goal of transforming their home or office into an organized, harmonious environment that's easy to maintain. I provide customized organizing solutions based on your needs, style preferences and goals.

In my twenties, I worked in health care (administration and assisted living) while raising my children before going back to school to become a software developer and business analyst – an engaging career that spanned over 20 years. Now, for more than 6 years, I enjoy focusing my career on my true passion – looking after a home and office and helping others to organize and enjoy theirs.

During my journey of intensive study and preparation to become a Professional Organizer, I:

  • have completed a certificate in Professional Organizing with IAP Career College and am a member of the International Association of Professional Organizations (IAPO);
  • have completed the intensive course and am a member of Inspired Organizers;
  • am a Silver Leaf member of the Professional Organizers in Canada;
  • am a lifelong learner, continually striving to be able to provide the best service to my clients.

After spending most of my life in Saskatchewan, the West Island is called 'home' to me and my little dogs, and I'm proud to be a part of this vibrant community.

 

"I contacted Cara in desperation after two years of trying to navigate boxes and boxes of my parents’ documents, photographs, and textiles, taking up real estate in my house and in my head, after my father’s death and the sale of the family home. It was the best decision ever: cathartic, empowering, liberating and life-changing. I would even venture to say it was a form of grief therapy, unpacking all those boxes with Cara by my side, gently guiding and nudging with terrific suggestions that never imposed. Along the way, I realized there was a lot of unpacking and organizing to do with my own piles of clutter which was in line with my objective to not leave my only child with the burden of my mess. It was a lot of work and there were some challenges in letting certain things go (decluttering and organizing is not a passive process) but overall I am thrilled with the outcome and so pleased that I invested in this project. I now have organizing systems in place that are so effective and so easy to follow, it’s almost impossible to slip into old habits. In short, it was a highly successful collaboration and I loved working alongside Cara’s expertise. She is professional, competent, kind, caring and … very organized! I highly recommend this service. Thanks for everything, Cara!" ~ Sharon C.
