Before
A move out of the city to the suburbs, and the nanny who had been with the family for years couldn't make it with them. Three preteens deep in travel sport, two parents commuting back into the city four or five days a week. An au pair would cover the driving — someone still had to run the rest.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They found Sage Haus on social and took the quiz while the move was still being planned. The role was scoped deliberately as the layer above the au pair: the calendar, the sports logistics, the systems.
Sage Haus found their house manager
Fifteen to twenty-five hours that start with the calendar: the family schedule and sports logistics owned end to end, a weekly batch cook coordinated around the au pair, daily resets, and the supply orders nobody had been tracking.
