Before
A hospital-based physician working long, unpredictable shifts — sometimes a full day and night at a stretch — with three children aged eight and under and a partner splitting time between home and office. Keeping up with the house had become mathematically impossible.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They found Sage Haus through a parenting community they trust, and the brief followed the rota: the household had to run on a fixed rhythm precisely because the medical schedule never would.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A rhythm-first scope: set days for meals, laundry and resets that hold no matter which shift is happening, with the supplies and errands folded in. Their house manager started seven weeks after the kickoff call.
