The Passionate Organizer

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.

"Cara is amazing! She has been helping me declutter and organize my home step-by-step. She sends a plan of what she wants to do before she comes so it helps me to prepare in my mind what the goal is for each visit. She is non-judgmental, kind, flexible, honest, funny and sensitive to your belongings. There is no pressure to discard something that you really don’t want to, however, she will help you to look at things from a different angle if you’re not sure what to decide. Cara is very helpful with providing hints and suggestions to keep you organized going forward. She even comes with little jobs for my 6-year old to do. It always amazes me how Cara attacks my many piles of boxes, toys, gift bags, tissue paper, clothes, shoes, etc, and separates everything into piles. Then you realize how much of everything you already have and didn't even realize it. It puts things into perspective and helps you think twice before you purchase more “stuff” for your home. Thanks to Cara, I am starting to see my home becoming more of a calming and organized environment. I will still need her for a while. She has truly helped me see clutter and messes in a less overwhelming way and helped me and my family with tips and schedules to keep our home organized and clean. She is exactly what my family needed and I’m so happy that we found her! I would highly recommend The Passionate Organizer. She takes pride in her work and you can tell that her aim is really to help you feel better in your home!" ~ Jennifer G.
