Genevieve Quigley – Head of Parenting
Genevieve Quigley has 18 years of media experience and has held an editor position at numerous titles both here and in the UK.

Melanie Mahoney – Deputy Editor
Melanie has more than 10 years of experience working in parenting media, and has been with Essential Baby since early 2012.
A journalist and editor, she loves connecting with readers on social media and through Essential Baby’s popular Facebook page. In her spare time she daydreams about Pinterest projects she will never even begin to attempt while tuning in to terrible reality TV shows she can't help but watch.
Letitia Rowlands – News Editor
Letitia is a journalist with more than 20 years experience writing and editing for newspapers, magazines and news websites. During her career she hascovered everything from general news, to police rounds and courts. Since joining Essential Baby two years ago, Letitia has focused on bringing our readers all the most important parenting news and views.
Letitia lives in Sydney with her husband and two young sons and, despite her best efforts, is yet to find a
fool proof way of dodging stray pieces of Lego underfoot in the middle of the night.
Marion Turner - Producer
Marion has worked with the team on Essential Baby and Essential Kids websites for over 6 years and is responsible for creating many of the awesome galleries, worksheets and craft ideas you find on Essential Kids. She is a mum to 2 boys and goes a little overboard with preparing their birthday parties with the help of Pinterest.
