We Help Manage Your Home

Home Management is a modern day maid and butler service providing you with assistance with house cleaning, doing laundry, washing dishes, house sitting, picking up the mail, party hosting and so on. Perhaps you enjoy a therapeutic hour or two of such work, but are seeking time to actually enjoy your home free from cleaning and other chore concerns.
We've got just the solution! Nook & Cranny Home Management

Home Management Manual
We see your home as a business and can assist in developing a Home Management Manual. This organizational tool can help you plan and simplify your household tasks as well as keep up with scheduled maintenance like changing filters. There are many options to consider such as keeping important household information like phone numbers, menus and appliance manuals.
House Cleaning
We work closely with you to develop a cleaning schedule and plan that fits your busy lifestyle. We use our own specially formulated non-toxic cleaning products. Call us to talk with your Home Manager to discuss a home plan that will suit your needs. Both regularly-scheduled and one-time services (such as moving in and out cleaning) are available.
House Sitting
Out of town for a long or short time? We will take care of your home while you're away, keeping it secure and well-tended. Think of the pleasure in returning to a clean, fresh home after your time away!
House Chores
Are laundry or dish doing tasks stealing away your weekends? Are you wishing you could invite friends over but preparation needs seem daunting? We'd love to help. Call us or talk to your lifestyle assistant and we'll put a plan in place that will get you reading that book that's been stuck on page 48 for months, or help get the party started for five or fifty. Easy and nifty — we're here to help.
Organize & De-clutter
It's said that we spend hours a day searching for items. Our skill of organizing will can help you find a place for things you've been trying to find! Through personal consultation, we develop a system to manage clutter and piles that fits your lifestyle. We call it Clutter-Busting. We work with you to manage countertops, desktops, and tosspiles, and to introduce you to techniques that keep clutter from returning.
Finding a solution to organizing your stuff is as easy as contacting us (from work if the home computer's buried by clutter).

We Help Manage Your Life

Something about these services...

Errands
The answer to the common Saturday afternoon question of "Where did the day go?"; is "Errands." Nook & Cranny's team can make short order of errands by running them mid-week when you are at work and when the dry cleaners, shipping centers, tailors and mall centers are less rushed.

Your afternoon plans are now available for writing that letter to grandmother, or for working your way through the next level of that blasted computer game.
Party Planning
Invitations galore? What fun! We hope you'll invite us along for the ride of planning, cleaning, catering, shopping, serving and post-bash clean up! We're with you every step of the way, and we know gobs of local caterers, florists, venues and the perfect party favors! So when you're uncorking the wine and chatting with guests, count on us to make sure everything is tidy, ready and, most important of all, fun!
Day-of Wedding Assistance
Don't let your big day get you down. We know how much work is involved in putting a wedding together. There are so many last minute details and by the time you remember them, you and your wedding party are getting your hair done at the salon and have had 2 glasses of champagne. But you were smart in your planning. You hired Nook & Cranny to cover you back on your big day. We help set the party favors on the tables. We delivered last minute instructions to the florist about layout and finishing touches. We escorted your guests through the undefined passage way to your party room. Thank goodness. Otherwise they would have crashed some one else's wedding in the Foshay tower. We took all the gifts from the receiving table and placed them in your car or hotel room, where ever they all could fit. All the while you were looking beautiful and could breathe.
Call us today! We are ready to help you cover all the last minute details.
