MY STORY

Hi, I'm Madeleine

I'm so happy you're here! I'm a mom, an educator, and someone who truly believes in the magic of early childhood.

My journey has taken me from Germany to Cincinnati, leading me to create a warm, nurturing home where children can learn, play, and grow with confidence.

Why I started Kindernest

A Passion for Children

Working with young children has always been my calling.

I love watching them discover the world and grow into their unique little selves.

A New Chapter

After moving from Germany to Cincinnati with my family and our sweet dog Holly, I wanted to create a home away from home for other families.

A Place to Grow

Kindernest is more than childcare - it's a place where children feel safe, loved, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. 

Experience & Qualifictions

10 + Years Experience 

Over a decade working with infants and toddlers in childcare settings in Germany.

Former Deputy Director

Several years of leadership experience as deputy manager in a childcare center in Germany.

Early Childhood Educator

Officially qualified early childhood educator recognized in Germany.

CPR & Fist Aid Certified

Current certification to ensure your child's safety and well-being.

A Litte More About Me

Outside of Kindernest, I love making memories with my family and Holly, exploring Cincinnati, trying new restaurants, and spending time outdoors—especially by the water.

And yes, there's usually an iced Matcha Latte in my hand!

What I love most about working with children is their honesty, their curiosity, and the joy they bring to every day.

- Madeleine
