the Northeast
Before
A Northeast family whose nanny years had run their course — the kids older, the needs shifted from childcare toward everything around it. With mom home, what they needed wasn't another nanny: it was one person splitting time between the kids' logistics and the running of the house.
Why they chose Sage Haus
The decision was to restructure rather than rehire like-for-like: fold the children's logistics and the household itself into one position built for the era the family is actually in.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A split scope: school-day support and the children's logistics on one side, and the systems, supplies, laundry, meals and vendors on the other. Their house manager started eleven weeks after the kickoff call.
