More Than a Sitter—A Mentor, Homework Helper & Friend Hi, I'm Electra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a
Hi, I'm Elektra! I'm a Biotechnology and Mathematics undergraduate with a passion for working with children and helping them thrive. With over five years of childcare experience caring for younger family members and two years of professional babysitting experience, I've learned that every child deserves a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can be themselves.
I love staying engaged with the children I care for, whether that means helping with homework, reading stories, playing games, doing creative activities, or simply being a patient and encouraging presence throughout their day. As an author and avid reader, I enjoy fostering curiosity, imagination, and a love of learning.
Parents can count on me to be dependable, attentive, and caring. My goal is not just to provide childcare, but to be someone children feel comfortable with and someone parents can trust with confidence.
I'm looking for Casual/temporary, Part-time employment.
I can travel to neighboring suburbs/towns of Norfolk for work.

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 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
