I raised 3 kids and currently have a 14 yr old daughter. When I was younger I worked as a Sunday School teacher for kids age 5-12 yrs old(including Vacation Bible School). I currently live with my daughter and 15 month old granddaughter
My name is Mallory Hartong and I’m the mother of a 14 month old baby boy. My husband is in the military and I’m looking to bring a little extra income while helping another family out! I love being a stay at home mother so I figured why not watch another little one! Please keep our family in mind, we’d love to be apart of yours! Any free time I have (nap time) can go towards cleaning, laundry, meal prepping, or whatever fits your needs. Much love, xoxo ❤️
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Virginia Beach for work.

I have been a mother for 15 months and a dog owner my whole life! I was a professional cleaner for 3 years and I took care of disabled people for about 6 months. I truly enjoyed both jobs but at the time the income wasn’t enough, however, now that I’m a stay at home mom, the income doesn’t matter much! I really just want to have a job because I enjoy working. If you need, I can come down on my hourly as well. Please keep me In Mind! Much love xoxo

I am committed to providing a safe, fun, and creative space where children can learn, grow, and feel truly cared for.
