MEET THE TEAM
Inclusive, supportive, open. A place to grow and thrive.
Jonny
I was previously part of the family team that ran Mothercare Ireland and I worked there for 18 years starting in buying and then covering a wide range of roles from logistics, store operations and finance. Unfortunately that business is no longer here but we did a huge amount right and we aim to build on the best parts of that business with Kaliedy. Having launched online only and won several industry awards all the while becoming Irelands top rated Nursery store we felt the time was right to open our first physical store. We look forward to serving you either in person or online.
I am married to Aoife and we have 3 boys.
Laura
With more years in the nursery industry than I care to count, I've cultivated a deep-rooted love for all things baby-related. My journey began during my college days, where I hustled my way through shifts at the Mothercare store in Blackrock. After completing my degree, I transitioned into a role overseeing marketing initiatives for the Mothercare brand.
Starting up Kaliedy has been nothing short of exhilarating. Here, we've fostered fantastic relationships with both suppliers and customers alike. Together, we're on a mission to introduce fresh, innovative products to the Irish market, each one designed to simplify the lives of busy parents. And guess what? It's my responsibility to ensure our customers are in the know about these game-changing finds.
When I am not in work I enjoy walks with the dog as well as spending time with the family. With six nephews in tow, family gatherings are generally a game of football or rounders which are highly competitive and wonderfully rowdy.

"We will try and keep it simple and provide the right products for your needs, I am a Dad of three boys but that doesn't mean that I claim to know it all! Every day is a school day! I do know that every family and every child is different, we'll do our very best to listen to your needs and guide you in the right direction. The team at Kaliedy pride ourselves in our customer service both pre and post sales, we understand that it can be a wonderful and stressful time of your lives and we aim to provide great products and even better service to help you along on the wonderful journey that is parenthood."
Rachel
Having previously worked for Mothercare in the Carrickmines store for 12 years as a store supervisor and now currently with Kaliedy for the past 4 years, I have certainly gained a wealth of knowledge in the baby and nursery industry, along with being a Mum to 3 of my own. I understand what families are looking for and what they need at the start of their pregnancy journeys and can share my knowledge, while dipping into my own experiences and offer practical and personal advice too. From demonstrating car seats and pushchairs, to exploring different feeding options and advising parents around bathing and nursery items, I really enjoy helping parents make those big decisions.
