About Us
Parents on a mission
The Cariad Babi team is a made up of a group of parents that come with a passion to fund support through the enjoyment of retailing ethical products, to build the village that has seemed to remain hypothetical. We combine over a decade of experience of working with parents with our training and passion, to bring support that you can trust, parent to parent.
From ethical shopping, to sling consultations to helping parents back into employment, we give everything we have to create change for those who need it most.
We are volunteer led. We offer our time to support a community, filled with passion and drive to build the village that so many are without. Through volunteering, we support others back into employment by offering training and skills building.
Kia’s Story
How I Got Started
I’m Kia, disabled Mother of five boys, resident of Derby and passionate parent supporter.
From childhood trauma to homelessness, I’ve had a bit of journey in my life so far, with stories of hurdles and barriers that weren’t necessary. I grew really tired of facing unemployment due to being disabled, and finding it hard to access the same level of support than if my life had been different.
I found it disheartening to see our city suffer from a lack of funding and precious services being cut. So I decided to do something about it.
Myself and my husband went ‘back to school’ being as we had no grades to support employment. We now hold first class degress and diplomas, and I myself have over a decade of experience of working with families in various roles around Derby. I have a deep understanding of the needs of parents, and have personal experience of it too.
I am here to help, I am humbled to be invited into such precious parts of your journies and look forward to being able to support you.
