Before
Two demanding careers with travel on both sides, a spirited toddler about to start preschool, a small dog, and a grandmother at the heart of a busy suburban home. Biweekly cleaners and a daily dog walker were already booked. What was missing wasn't another pair of hands — it was the person at the centre.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They found Sage Haus on social and got started within weeks. The job description went out the day after the kickoff call, with toddler experience as the one non-negotiable.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A demanding scope — close to full-time across six days, with confidentiality and travel readiness built in. Ten weeks from kickoff call to first day.
