Before
A physician whose partner works in professional sport, which means months at a stretch on the road — and one parent effectively solo with four daughters from toddler to teenager. Cleaners and part-time laundry help were already in place. The day-to-day grind was not covered by either.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They arrived already staffed and still underwater, which shaped the brief: not another service slot, but something comprehensive and consistent for the daily run of the house while one parent carried it alone.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A scope built for the solo season: the daily reset, the kitchen, the laundry system above the existing help, and the errands that pile up when one adult is home. Their house manager started seven weeks after the kickoff call.
