Before
A founder co-parenting three children on an alternating schedule. Her weeks are shaped by three school calendars, competitive youth sport with travel, appointments and back-to-back calls — and the shape of the week changes every two weeks.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They found Sage Haus on social and got started the same month. What they needed wasn't more hours of childcare; it was a second adult who runs the house.
Sage Haus found their house manager
Twenty to twenty-five hours scoped to mirror the family's rhythm exactly, on an alternating two-week rotation. A Sage Haus Certified house manager started seven weeks after the kickoff call, despite an unusual schedule and specific requirements.
