Meet The Team
BONNIE
Owner & Professional Organiser
Bonnie’s journey into professional organising began when she stepped away from classroom teaching to follow a different calling—helping families create homes that feel calmer, more functional and full of life. What started as Little Miss Organised has grown into Little Home Organised, but the heart behind it has never changed: helping families move from simply surviving to truly thriving.
As a registered teacher, Bonnie loves empowering families with practical organising skills they can use long after the organising session is over. Her down-to-earth advice has been shared through radio, television, workshops, community presentations, the Little Home Organised podcast and her long-running Organise4Life radio segment.
At home, Bonnie and her shift-working husband are raising and homeschooling their four busy children on a permaculture farm, complete with more chickens than anyone can count! Living with neurodivergent children has given her a deep appreciation for creating systems that work for real families—not picture-perfect ones.
When she’s not helping clients, you’ll usually find Bonnie with her nose in a good book, wandering along the beach or reaching for anything teal. She believes an organised home isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating more space for what matters most.
Fun fact: Bonnie spent the first 18months of her life living in Papua New Guinea

MARY - ELLEN
Administrator
If you’ve called, emailed or booked with us, chances are you’ve already met Mary-Ellen! As the friendly voice behind Little Home Organised, she’s here to make your experience as easy, welcoming and stress-free as possible from your very first hello.
Mary-Ellen keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes, from answering your questions and coordinating appointments to supporting our Professional Organisers and solving the little hiccups that pop up along the way. Calm, caring and incredibly organised, she’s often described as the glue that holds the team together.
Before joining Little Home Organised, Mary-Ellen spent 10 years in customer service and hospitality before building a 25-year career in Government, supporting individuals, families and communities. She also holds a Diploma of Leadership and Management and a Diploma of Community Services Coordination, bringing a wealth of experience in leadership, organisation and client care.
Having raised her family and recently downsized, Mary-Ellen now enjoys travelling Australia with her husband in their caravan (which definitely keeps her organising skills sharp!) before returning home to spend time with her two gorgeous grandsons.
She understands that asking for help can sometimes feel overwhelming, so her goal is always to make every client feel supported, comfortable and genuinely cared for.
Fun fact: At 17, Mary-Ellen was sponsored by her local Lions Club as their Miss Personality Quest entrant
MELANIE
Professional Organiser
Melanie brings a calm, thoughtful and compassionate approach to every organising session. As a mother of one, she loves helping clients create homes that feel lighter and more functional for busy families.
She understands that organising is about so much more than tidy cupboards—it’s about creating spaces that support everyday life. Melanie is especially passionate about working alongside neurodivergent clients, designing personalised systems that suit the individual instead of expecting people to fit into rigid organising rules.
Her approach is always judgement-free, supportive and tailored to each family, with a focus on practical solutions that reduce overwhelm and are easy to maintain.
When she’s not organising homes, Melanie performs as a classical French horn player with local orchestras. Her love of balance, harmony and attention to detail shines through in both her music and the way she helps clients create calm, functional spaces.
Fun fact: Melanie used to play duets on her french horn with the neighbours donkey

VICKI
Professional Organiser
Long before organising became a career, Vicki was the person friends and family called whenever they needed help creating calm from chaos. She believes our homes have a huge impact on how we feel, and that thoughtful organisation creates more than tidy spaces—it creates peace of mind.
With a background in the residential construction industry, Vicki brings a unique understanding of how homes are designed to function. Having worked closely with builders and homeowners through every stage of the building process, she has a natural eye for layout, flow and creating spaces that work beautifully for everyday life.
Life has also given her plenty of hands-on organising experience. Since moving from Canada to Australia in 2013, Vicki has navigated international moves, renovations, building a family home, homeschooling, travelling Australia in a caravan and raising three children—often while her husband worked away. Through it all, she’s discovered that practical systems make
life’s biggest seasons feel so much easier.
Vicki loves creating spaces that are both beautiful and functional. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, she works with each family to design systems that suit the way they naturally live. Her goal is simple: create homes that feel calm, practical and easy to maintain.
When she’s not organising, you’ll usually find Vicki re-styling her home, caring for her growing collection of plants, heading to the beach or dreaming about Mediterranean architecture, food and travel. She lives with her husband, three children and their wonderfully quirky cat, Monty.
Fun fact: Vicki once jumped out of a plane from 10,500 feet!

Liz
Professional Organiser
After more than 30 years working in the legal profession, primarily with the Commonwealth Government, Liz developed exceptional organisational skills, a keen eye for detail and a calm approach to managing busy lives. As the mum of two adult children, she also understands firsthand the challenges of balancing family, work and everything in between.
A few years ago, Liz decided it was time for a change and began working more closely with people in their homes, cooking for people living with disability and teaching children valuable cooking skills. Those experiences confirmed what she’d always known—she loves helping people build confidence, independence and practical skills that make everyday life easier.
Known for her caring and empathetic nature, Liz approaches every organising project with kindness, compassion and absolutely no judgement. Whether she’s helping with decluttering, downsizing, hoarding support or preparing a loved one’s home after a loss, she understands that every situation is personal and deserves to be treated with care.
When she’s not helping clients, you’ll usually find Liz cooking, tackling a challenging jigsaw puzzle, enjoying live music or spending time with family and friends.
Fun fact: Liz once appeared in a television commercial alongside renowned French chef Manu Feildel

SALLY
Professional Organiser
Sally has always loved creating order from chaos. With more than 20 years’ experience in retail, she has built a strong background in organisation, efficiency and problem-solving, always looking for practical ways to make life run a little more smoothly.
Whether she’s streamlining systems at work or helping clients transform their homes, Sally enjoys creating organising solutions that are simple, personalised and easy to maintain. She believes every family is different, so every organising system should be too.
Outside of work, Sally loves getting creative through scrapbooking, craft projects and planning memorable themed birthday parties for her two sons. Her creativity, patience and eye for detail naturally flow into the way she helps clients create homes that feel calmer, more functional and enjoyable to live in.
With her warm, friendly and judgement-free approach, Sally loves helping families create spaces that truly work for their everyday lives.
Fun fact: Sally rarely cuts her hair — she waits until she can donate at least 14 inches to help create wigs for children experiencing hair loss

Mitch
Professional Organiser
Growing up in a Polish family, Mitch learned from an early age to appreciate the things you have and create a home that’s simple, welcoming and well cared for. Those values sparked her lifelong love of organising and creating beautiful, functional spaces.
With a Diploma in Interior Design and Decoration, Mitch believes organising isn’t just about reducing clutter—it’s about creating a home that feels peaceful, reflects your personality and brings you genuine joy every time you walk through the door. She loves helping clients let go of what’s no longer serving them and create spaces filled with the things they truly love.
Mitch brings warmth, creativity and encouragement to every organising session, helping clients create homes that are practical, calming and uniquely theirs. When she’s not organising, you’ll usually find Mitch experimenting with fashion, op shopping, enjoying live music or relaxing with a cup of tea and a crochet project.
Fun fact: Mitch worked on the set of a zombie film on the special effects/makeup crew in 2016
Location: Redlands, Brisbane
Michelle
Mitch comes from a Polish household where her parents started with very little. Growing up, her mother always taught her to take care and appreciate the things they had, to create a beautiful and minimalist home that’s clean and presentable.
With a diploma in interior design and decoration Mitch doesn’t believe the job of organizing is complete until you have a home that brings you joy visually. She is passionate to help you create a home that is clutter free, filled only with the things you love, and is your favorite place in the world that brings you peace, comfort and that homey feeling!
Mitch loves to express herself through make up, jewelry and pattern clashing outfits! In her free time, she enjoys op shopping, seeing live music and getting cozy drinking a tea whilst crocheting.
