the West Coast
Before
Two physicians on the West Coast with twin boys at middle-school age. Their long-term nanny left at a genuinely hard moment for the family — and what they needed next was not another nanny. The boys were older; the gap was dinner, the kitchen, and the running of the house.
Why they chose Sage Haus
The departure forced the question most families meet eventually: does this era still need childcare, or does it need household management? They answered it honestly and hired for the era they were actually in.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A kitchen-led scope: cooking owned outright, the pantry and supplies behind it, and the household systems around the school day. Their house manager started about seven weeks after the kickoff call.
