Elle Mount Pleasant
$17 per hour for 1 child

Hi, i’m Elle! I have two younger sisters I grew up taking care of and lots of little cousins I have babysat for years, I have also been babysitting for close family friends for years, but most the kids i’ve babysat are growing up. So, i’m looking to start babysitting again! I took a cpr class when I was 16 at McLaren hospital. I love to entertain little kids & play with them, cook for them, or even help with homework & bedtime! I can drive, so I’d be willing to help with sports or school activities! I also grew up with lots of animals so I can check on and take care of any animals you may have. I work on a farm everyday, but have flexible hours and time after work to spend with your kids & pets!

Noelle Rockford
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Noelle, and I’ve been working in childcare since 2016. I have a Child Development Associate (CDA) and currently work as a preschool teacher, a role I truly love and feel deeply called to do. Caring for young children has always been more than a job to me. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where children feel seen, supported, and secure. At the same time, I care deeply about supporting families by offering dependable, thoughtful care that allows them to rest, recharge, and prioritize themselves without worry. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children, and I’m very comfortable following routines, guiding transitions, and meeting each child where they are developmentally. Whether we’re playing, reading, winding down for bedtime, or simply sharing a calm moment, my goal is always to help children feel comfortable and cared for while their parents are away. Whether you’re looking for date night care, backup support, or an extra set of trusted hands, I would love to partner with your family and help lighten your load in 2026 and beyond!
