Baby & Nursery Prep
The nursery setup and newborn systems no baby registry checklist will tell you — from a mom who’s actually lived it.
A professional organizer AND a mom who has been there before.
All my tips, tricks, and systems so you go into parenthood prepared.
I’m here to walk through your actual space (and your actual life!) to set up systems that hold up at 3am with a newborn in your arms. We’ll focus on the stuff you only learn by living it — or by having a friend who has: a diaper changing set-up that saves you time, what you’ll actually reach for in the middle of the night, how to organize clothes so hand-me-downs and size changes don’t wreck your system in six weeks, and more.
Ready for anything at 3am.
As with our other Sorted Home services, we kick off with a short, complimentary phone call to understand your specific needs. Generally, prep for baby looks like:
- We’ll walk through your space, understanding how you use it now and what might change when baby arrives.
- We can unpack and set up your space with whatever you already have.
- We’ll talk through and set up systems for the newborn stage and beyond — labelling and setting up drawers, stocking the changing station, and creating simple plans for what goes where as baby grows.
- You’ll get a custom shopping list for anything still missing with specific links — things that will fit in your space and continue to serve you as your child grows.
Outside of NYC? We offer this service virtually as well! Reach out and we can talk through the details.

FAQ
Do you bring products, or just help me set up what I have?
A bit of both! I’ll help you set up what you already have and identify any gaps or opportunities I see. We’ll talk through what makes sense. While I’m in your space I’ll take measurements, and follow up within 48 hours with a list of recommended products specific to your space.
How far along should I be before booking?
Most parents book 5–10 weeks before the due date, but I’m happy to work with you whenever makes sense! Already postpartum? It’s never too late to get systems in place to make things easier for you.
Do you travel outside of NYC?
No, but we offer this service virtually as well!
What if I don’t know what I need yet?
That’s exactly what the initial, complimentary consult is for — we’ll figure it out together.
You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Let’s get your space — and you — actually ready for baby.
