the Southeast
Before
A physician and a professor in the Southeast with a full house of children, and genuinely good help already in place — a nanny covering the youngest, pickups, several meals a week. And still: mentally exhausted, because everything the nanny did not do had no owner at all.
Why they chose Sage Haus
This was the clearest version of a pattern Sage Haus sees constantly — the family that has help and is still drowning, because childcare and household management are different jobs and only one of them was staffed.
Sage Haus found their house manager
The unowned layer, staffed: the supplies and systems, the laundry beyond the kids, the vendors, the errands, the resets — everything that fell between the nanny's role and the parents' capacity. Their house manager started about twelve weeks after the kickoff call.
