Meet Betsy, Professional Organizer and Founder of BK Organizing

If you ask Betsy Kelly how she became a Professional Organizer, she’ll tell you that she didn't become an organizer - she just is one! But she thinks it was likely the pleasure of organizing her own closet as a child that hooked her on the act of sorting, categorizing and tidying. 

A graduate of Fordham University, Betsy spent more than 20 years working in corporate environments, specifically in publishing, media and PR. In 2012, she decided to become her own boss and finally step into her dream of organizing professionally. BK Organizing was born!

Early years, development, training and certification

In her early years as an organizer, Betsy’s knowledge grew from her own intuition, mentorship and subcontracting with other professionals. Today, she receives ongoing education and resources through NAPO, the National Association of Productivity and Organizing Professionals. Betsy is a member of both the National Chapter and the Greater Boston area chapter. As a NAPO member, Betsy has pledged to follow the NAPO Code of Ethics, a set of principles that provide guidelines for the organizer’s conduct with clients, colleagues and the community.

In her spare time, Betsy loves to spend time with her family, hit the ski slopes and dig into a good book. She is nourished by her friendships and always enjoys a rousing game of pickleball or tennis. Ever curious about the world, Betsy has traveled extensively and continues to explore the Boston area and beyond as much as possible.

Betsy understands the vulnerability that comes with inviting a stranger into your space. Her goal is to bring a calm, grounding presence to each project, and make sure you feel comfortable before beginning the work of organizing. You can schedule a free 30-minute Zoom consultation to meet and get to know her better before you move forward. 

Happy Organizing!

And Meet Our Incredible Team Members!

We believe there is power in numbers, especially when tackling larger projects like estate clearouts, downsizing and moving and relocation projects. For this reason, we often work as a team because the work goes exponentially faster, you get results quickly and we get to lean on one another for support. The BK Organizing team is stronger together, and we are so proud of that!

Andrea Sadkowski,
Professional Organizer

Andrea has been a professional organizer for eight years, but her experience with moving and making a home work goes back much further; she has personally moved 20 times as an adult!

She loves helping clients find practical, manageable solutions for organizing, decluttering, moving, and clearing out their homes. And she is not afraid of the spaces most people avoid, like attics, basements, and garages!

Andrea’s goal is simple: to take what feels overwhelming and make it feel doable. Whether you’re getting organized, preparing for a move, or tackling years of accumulated stuff, she’ll work alongside you to create order, make decisions, and get it done.

In Andrea’s eyes, the best part of the job is seeing clients exhale because they know they don’t have to do it alone.

It’s not that your home is extremely disorganized…

Things just get a little crazy around the holidays.
And when work gets busy.
And on the weekends…

But once a year or so, you do a huge organizing overhaul, decluttering and putting your home back in order. Ahh, that feels good!

Except that things end up getting cluttered again after the next family gathering, birthday or “busy” time. Why??

We’ve all been there.

Here’s the thing. Without organizing systems in place, your efforts won’t stick. Our goal is to help you organize your home in a way that makes it easy to tidy, no matter what happens in your daily family and work life.

Please reach out for a free 30-Minute consultation or to learn more about our Professional Organizing and Move Management services. We are here to make you feel at home.

Betsy’s Organizing Philosophy:

No.1 Less Is More. Editing and decluttering is key to the organizing process.

No.2 We will NEVER force a client to throw something away. Our place is not to make judgments or decisions but simply to provide support and suggestions during the editing process.

No.3 The organizing systems we put in place must work for your brain and your family’s habits. Just because something looks pretty doesn’t mean it’s the right system for you! By asking open-ended questions and developing an understanding of your stuck points, we identify and implement the best organizing strategies to support your individual needs and space.

  • Betsy and her team were easy to work with, and I would recommend her, as well as work with her again. We were working on a client's home renovation, and enlisted Betsy's help to declutter, pack up, and unpack the home, all before the holiday season. She was timely, kept in contact, and maintained the dates we set months in advance. This allowed us to stick to our quick construction schedule and have the family back in their home for the holidays. highly recommend working with her.

  • Preparing to move by sorting through years of life can be overwhelming and emotional. Betsy and her amazing team treated our client’s things and their feelings with the utmost care. Their service extended beyond our clients. The new homeowners were pleasantly surprised to see extra chandelier chain and bulbs neatly bagged and labeled and cable cords nicely coiled. Truly nothing left amiss.

  • Betsy has helped me on several occasions. She tackled my garage, kitchen, Children’s bedrooms, linen closets- and more! She is very practical and easy to talk with. She inquires about my goals for the space, listens well, and has suggestions that are totally reasonable. She never throws anything away unless I give the go ahead. She tries to make do with what we have; meaning I have never had to go out and spend a lot of money on additional storage/organizer containers. She carries everything away with her that you want to get rid of and you are left with a feeling of calm.

  • Betsy and her team at BK organizing and move management were the best! When you hire Betsy you will learn a lot about how to execute an extremely thoughtful move, one that is truly centered on what is best for the you. Her client-centered approach allowed me to understand the best way to move my elderly parents. She and her team were our trusted advisors and supported us every step of the way through what is one of the most stressful situations for anyone, let alone elderly people with cognitive issues. Betsy and her team truly embody the core values of kindness, patience and service excellence while supporting sustainability practices. We can't thank her enough for all her work to get us moved in successfully!

  • Betsy Kelly is remarkable!! If you are moving, downsizing, cleaning out an attic, or need help just organizing your clothes closet, she is the person who can do it all. No job is too large or small: she has an expert team that she can call upon as needed. And when you say, "whatever will I do with this," she knows exactly what to do with it -- books, clothing, furniture, kitchen items just disappear.. I am in awe!! I have worked with Betsy on two downsizing projects, the first from a Back Bay brownstone to a retirement community, and the second to yet another retirement community. At the end of each day, all unwanted items as well as boxes and moving supplies were removed and my surroundings were spotless.

  • Betsy's support of our family's transition to a leaner way of living has been transformative. As we have been emptying our nest of young adult children, she has helped us empty it of years' worth of child-rearing belongings, passed down furniture, things we were holding on to for no good reason. She is strategic, organized, has a vision, follows a sound process, is a tireless worker and a pleasure to be with. She is a commonsense sounding board when deciding which things to keep and let go of. We are so grateful to her; can't recommend her highly enough!
