Before
Three children enrolled at two schools forty minutes from each other, in a small coastal town in the Northeast. Between the staggered pickups and the activity calendar, the daily driving alone was a juggling act — and a home-cooked dinner had become the thing that never quite happened.
Why they chose Sage Haus
The trigger was arithmetic: the drive time between two schools did not leave enough day for the rest of the household, and no amount of reorganising the calendar was going to change the distance.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A scope split between the road and the kitchen: the school pickup and drop-offs and activity shuttle owned outright, with dinner actually on the table at the end of it. Their house manager started eleven weeks after the kickoff call, in a town with a thin local hiring pool.
