Can an organizer help with this?

We have 5 rooms and 3 kids, each kid in their own room and me and dh in the master bedroom. That leaves one guestroom. We’d like to ttc. Would an organizer be able to figure out a way to keep everything neat and minimalist so that I can pair up the baby with a dc or maybe but dd into the guestroom in a way that can easily be switched into a guestroom when we need it, by her moving out?

We’d like to build an addition for a guestroom but working on saving the 30k or so we’d need…

If yes approx how much would this cost?

Why do you need an organizer though? You keep the baby in your room at first, then when they’re past the waking-at-night-to-nurse/feed stage, you put them in the bedroom of a same-gender sibling. My kids all shared a closet and dresser. You just designate different drawers/shelves for each child.

I wouldn’t want my kid in the guestroom because when they’re a bit older and have to move out anytime you have guests, it could disrupt their routine and make them harder to put to bed.

We would only have guests on Shabbos and it’s not so frequent so I’m not worried about disrupting. They can sleep in my room on those few occasions, probably no more than 5 times throughout the year

Awesome ty! Are you in Lakewood?

I’m not, but there are plenty of amazing organizers there.
I can help you find.
Do you have a budget you would like to stick to?
Would also be happy to try to help you do it yourself if you’re interested.

I don't understand why you need an organizer. It's very normal to put kids together in a room. If you have 3 kids now, why don't you put two of them in the same room and then have the other room for the baby?
