About Us

Back to Sanity Organizing Service was formed in 2006 by current owner and operator Jennifer Zimmermann of Horseheads, NY. Prior to founding this woman owned and operated small business, Jenn provided private house cleaning services and personal assistant services for many years to corporate executives throughout the Southern Tier of New York.

Jenn was raised near the Elmira, New York area and together with her husband Nathaniel raised their now grown children, a daughter and son, in Horseheads. Jenn loves to go antique shopping with some of her close friends. She is active in her church and enjoys many outdoor activities including hiking, kayaking, camping and volleyball.

Jenn is also active with the Corning, New York based The Potter’s Hands” Foundation, a faith-based, non-profit 501c3 organization committed to serving survivors of sexual exploitation and sex trafficking as they work through the process of restoration and healing.

Jenn takes pride in her personal involvement with each, and every project completed by Back to Sanity Organizing Service. From helping a family new to the area establish an organizing system for their new home to assisting with the organization and decluttering of a multi-generational homestead she is eager, ready, and willing to keep the process moving smoothly. Jenn's years of experience and numerous relationships has also provided her with available resources and a reliable network to assist her team and take on your project of just about any size.

Since 2006, Back to Sanity Organizing Service has built a solid reputation in the Elmira, New York area for being trustworthy, thorough, and affordable. As efficiency experts in organizing, decluttering, sorting and categorizing. Jenn and her team will get the job done on time and within your predetermined project budget.

While many of the corporate clients and real estate professionals describe Jenn and the team of Back to Sanity Organizing Service as hard workers, affordable and fair, Jenn believes her single most important trait which continues to produce the most success for her business is having respect for others and their property. Reorganizing one’s home, decluttering in preparation for the sale of your home, or preparing to move out or into a new home can be stressful and exhausting. Add the pressure of a timeline or deadline and it can become overwhelming.

We have had the pleasure of working with client’s during the most exciting time of their life as they start a new adventure in a new home, are setting up a home organizing system for the first time, or perhaps setting up a new kitchen after a full remodel. We’ve also worked with clients after having to downsize from their family home of many decades as they are leaving it behind as they move to an assisted care facility or to make a move across the country. No matter how similar the process may appear on the surface, each project is as unique as the individual clients. Recognizing this and developing a project plan while considering this is essential for successful interactions, and ultimately a successful outcome.

Working with clients as partners in a process, having respect for their personal property and being empathetic to everyone’s specific situation or state of mind is vital for a positive experience. Check out our client testimonials or photo gallery to understand more about what a positive experience looks like.

If you are looking for help with the organizing of your current home, preparing to move (help with efficient packing or assistance with unpacking), setting up an organizational system for your household (kitchens are our specialty), or simply looking to declutter your current space, contact us today to learn more about how we can help.

It’s also important to note that we are not a routine property cleaning service and do not provide cleanouts where a dumpster is placed on the street and the entire home’s contents are placed in it. If you are looking for this service, please visit our client resource page for ideas.
