Before
One parent runs a business from home, so the household has to function like an office while the workday happens inside it. The other travels constantly on a schedule that changes without much notice, which leaves the parent at home doing everything solo and at speed — three elementary-school children with sport most evenings, regular hosting, and travel for both work and family.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They found Sage Haus on social and got started within two weeks. The ask was ownership rather than assistance — see what needs doing and handle it — with confidentiality written in from the beginning.
Sage Haus found their house manager
Twenty hours across three weekday shifts, scoped around ownership rather than tasks: deep organisation projects the family would never reach, batch cooking, and enough anticipation built in that gifts and calendars stopped being emergencies.
