Lacey Ware CEO & Founder
Lacey has been helping growing families in the Bluegrass find wonderful nannies for over a decade.
After graduating with a Masters of Public Health from the University of Kentucky, she continued her passion of working with children as a career nanny. She quickly realized there was a huge need for families and nannies looking to connect with one another. Her love of community and helping others sparked the idea for a nanny agency that would serve both families and nannies and be a continued resource to ensure a strong working relationships for each placement.
Over ten years later, Kindred has grown to be a local household name when it comes to finding a nanny. With the support of her fantastic team, Kindred now serves multiple cities across the state and continues to be an invaluable resource for families and nannies.
Lacey and her husband Christopher live on their dream farm with their three spirited children, sweet pup, savvy cat, and multiple humorous chickens. You can usually find her planting or weeding in the garden or doing a project with the kids. Lacey is a lifelong learner, loves spending time with her family and close friends, and enjoys yummy food and a good glass of wine.
"My passion is helping people, specifically families and nannies looking for the perfect fit. My favorite part of being in this industry is when a family finds a nanny who becomes an extension of their family!”
