Juniper Organizing, Owner
Ever since I was young, organization has been important to me. Rather than playing with my dolls, I re-organized her closet and sorted her shoes by color. When I helped my mom put away the groceries, I arranged the canned goods in order of descending height. Creating order has always helped me to feel calm, confident, and ready to take on any task!
With a background in interior and closet design and over 15 years experience in process management and efficiency, I have found my true passion is helping families and busy professionals re-take control of their spaces and changing the way they live their lives.

Pat Reardon was born in Youngstown, OH and is the oldest of 8 children. Pat attended John Carroll University in Cleveland, Ohio where he earned his BS in Business Administration. He then went on to earn his MBA at the University of California – Irvine.
Pat had a successful and rewarding sales career in the packaged food industry, but after 35 years he was ready to move onto what he terms “a more mission-based” organization. When a friend told him to investigate senior care, it brought back memories of helping his grandma. He also was familiar with home care as he and his siblings had used a company when his mom needed help staying at home.
Pat and his wife Geri opened Senior Helpers of Stillwater to help seniors maintain and hopefully improve their quality of life. Their goal is to help seniors stay safely at home. Pat and Geri have five children, and a yellow lab named Derby.
