Before
A family a year into a relocation, with three boys spanning primary and early secondary — each in a different mix of sport, music and clubs whose schedules never once overlap. One parent in a high-paced in-office role with travel, the other on a rota that shifts without much warning. A weekly clean did nothing for the 3pm problem.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They found Sage Haus on social and took the quiz before getting in touch. What they asked for was explicit, and it wasn't a nanny: someone to guide the boys through the afternoon rather than wait on them.
Sage Haus found their house manager
Twenty to twenty-five hours weighted to the afternoons: pickups and activity transport, homework and practice accountability, laundry the children help sort, and a weekly grocery run that keeps the fridge ahead of the week.
