Lily Kandalaft is the founder of Malaak Mama & Baby Care, the UAE’s first maternity focused childcare agency providing prenatal classes, maternity nurses, babysitters, sleep trainers, breastfeeding support as well as other pre- and postnatal services to support families in the UAE.

Lily received her Bachelors of Science in Management from McGill University and her Masters in Finance from the London School of Economics and has worked for over 10 years across the Banking and FMCG sectors in Canada and the UAE before deciding to set up Malaak. After having her first baby in 2013 and realizing the big gap in postnatal care in the region, she launched Malaak with the hope of supporting other mamas like her through their beautiful parenting journey.

A passionate supporter of working moms, Lily tries to be for others what she needed herself.
