🌿MEET THE FOUNDER🌿
Hi, I’m Odette, the heart behind Kindred Care Collective. 🤍
I spent around 14 years working as an au pair and babysitter, both locally and internationally — so I know first-hand what it feels like to be the person trusted with someone’s most precious little people.
Over the years, my career has also taken me into the nonprofit world, where I’ve worked in anti-human trafficking, girls’ education, and animal welfare. These experiences have shaped so much of how I see people, care, responsibility, safety, and the importance of doing meaningful work with heart.
And honestly, I think that’s what makes me so passionate about Kindred.
I’ve been on the caregiver side. I understand the work, the responsibility, the joy, the challenges, and the importance of finding the right family to work with.
But I’ve also spent years working with people, building relationships, advocating for others, and learning how important it is to look beyond a CV and a list of qualifications.
Because childcare is personal. And people are personal.
At Kindred Care Collective, my goal is to create a space where caregivers feel seen, valued and genuinely supported — while helping families find people they can truly trust.
I’m so excited to build this little community of wonderful humans, and I can’t wait to get to know the people who become part of it. 🌿
We don’t just match qualifications. We match people. 🤍
— Odette
