Before
Two physicians whose hospital shifts never fit a school day, raising a full house of children from grade school down to a toddler in daycare. With nobody home at the bus stop, the kids spent their afternoons in aftercare until nearly six. Then dinner, homework, practice and laundry all landed in the same two hours, and resetting the house ate whatever was left of the evening.
Why they chose Sage Haus
A referral from another Sage Haus family brought them to an info call, and they got started a week later. The brief was clear from the kickoff call: kids home on the bus instead of in aftercare, and someone warm enough to be fun and steady enough to hold the routine.
Sage Haus found their house manager
Fifteen to twenty hours built around the afternoon: bus and daycare pickups, the snack, homework and chores routine, two or three dinners a week, and the laundry and resets that had been eating their evenings. Four weeks from kickoff call to match, with their house manager starting the week after.
