Before
Two parents working full-time, mostly from home, with two school-age children in sport and a young Labrador. A cleaner came every other week. The problem was everything in between — the daily reset, uniforms in the dryer, and a list that never quite belonged to anyone.
Why they chose Sage Haus
They took the quiz from the website and got started that same month. The distinction that mattered on the info call was a simple one: a nanny's job is the children, and a house manager's job is the household.
Sage Haus found their house manager
Twenty guaranteed hours, Monday to Thursday afternoons. Two candidates in round one, one finalist in round two — and then their house manager started.
