Meet the digital editor of YourParenting.co.za

Sophia Swanepoel

Sophia has worked as a newspaper and magazine journalist and TV scriptwriter for 15 years. The digital bug bit and she now spends almost all her time online. That is, the time she doesn't spend with her most beautiful baby girl, Mira, and her husband.

Having just returned from maternity leave, she is as passionate as ever about sharing good, solid advice from experts, informative articles and other mom's stories.

Her other baby, YourParenting, just got a makeover and Sophia is excited to make it work for all moms and dads. So don't hold back: send all comments and suggestions her way!

Meet the magazine editors

Your Pregnancy and Your Baby & Toddler

Editor: Jenny Collins
Jenny Collins was deputy editor of heat magazine when all of a sudden she started feeling a tad nauseous every day – and not just at the thought of Brad leaving Jen. When it was confirmed that she was indeed pregnant with not-so-little Dylan, her entire life changed.

After endlessly boring her colleagues with every small detail about her pregnancy, she realised it was time to move on. Now as editor of Your Pregnancy she gets to share this most momentous of life-changing events with pregnant moms countrywide and is loving every minute of it. 

"Pregnancy is not always easy, but it's always a privilege"

Baba & Kleuter

Helen SchoerRedakteur: Helen Shöer

Helen Schöer knyp haarself nog elke oggend, want om die redakteur van Baba & Kleuter te wees, is haar droomwerk. Vyf jaar gelede het haar lewe vir ewig verander toe sy swanger geword het met Sophia. Haar dae as harde nuusverslaggewer by Die Burger in Kaapstad was getel. Prioriteite verander vinnig as jy swanger is.

Presies drie jaar ná Sophia het klein Emily (nou 2) haar opwagting gemaak. En dis dié twee se streke wat baie van die artikelidees in Baba & Kleuter inspireer. Helen en haar Duitse man, Volker, het sowat 'n jaar gelede Johannesburg toe getrek en kan al klaar nie 'n lewe sonder donderstorms voorstel nie

"Ek wil hê elke ouer wat Baba & Kleuter lees, moet soos 'n beter ouer voel"
