About Us
The best home placements happen when both sides feel seen. Kindred Home was founded on a simple observation: most placements that struggle don't fail because of skill or effort. They fail because values were mismatched, expectations were unclear, and decisions were made in haste. We've witnessed this pattern firsthand. Families overwhelmed by endless applications, caregivers accepting positions that looked perfect on paper, both sides hoping it would work out. Sometimes it did. Often it didn't. We built Kindred Home to do things differently. We understand what makes placements succeed, and what makes them fall apart.
We know the questions that truly matter, the conversations that need to happen before day one, and how to spot misalignment before it becomes a problem. We use that knowledge to create thoughtful matches built on shared values, clear communication, and fair treatment on both sides. Families find caregivers they truly trust, and caregivers find families that truly value them.
Meet The Founder
Working with children has always been my passion. After studying early childhood education and teaching preschool, I eventually transitioned into private nannying.
Being a nanny was profound in a way I hadn't anticipated. I wasn't just caring for children, I was becoming part of a family in the such an intimate way. I was trusted in their homes, with their routines, with the delicate work of helping raise their children. That trust, that closeness, it's what made the work so meaningful.
​
After several years, I realized I didn't want to leave this world. I just wanted to be part of it differently, helping more families find the right caregiver for such an important role.
That's why I started Kindred Home. Now I get to stay connected to what I love most: being part of families' lives during one of their most vulnerable and important phases.
