No ads. No selling your data. We turned down VC funding to keep family safety ahead of growth-at-all-costs pressure. 6M PARENTING™: THE HEARTBEAT OF MOMIEGO Created by founder Jennifer Whyte, 6M Parenting™ is built on one simple truth: six moments from childhood stay with us for life. The people who raise us help shape the voice in our heads. We cannot choose which moments our children carry into adulthood. We can help give them better ones. Before becoming Amelia’s mom, Jen spent years working with displaced and orphaned children. Many called her Mommy first. Her mission was to help each child experience at least one of their six defining moments. MomieGo brings that same mission to modern parenthood: reaching children by connecting the parents raising them. Happy parents raise happy kids who become kinder neighbors, better parents and tomorrow’s leaders.
