the West Coast
Before
A single mom on the West Coast with two children, a large home that demands attention, and a big extended family in the mix. She had a plan to start a business — and a clear-eyed view that it would never happen if every spare hour kept going to the house.
Why they chose Sage Haus
The order of operations was the whole decision: hire the household support first, so the business could be built without the quality time with her kids being the thing that paid for it.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A scope designed to hand back hours: the errands, laundry and resets, the meals, and the upkeep a large home generates. Their house manager started six weeks after the kickoff call.
