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!

I’ve always been around children growing up, caring for many of my younger cousins. More recently, I’ve been regularly babysitting my nephew, who just turned one, and through that experience I discovered a true passion for nannying and childcare. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I volunteer weekly in the preschool ministry at my church, where I care for and engage with young children in a structured, nurturing setting. These experiences have taught me how to keep kids safe, entertained, and supported in their development. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and upbeat and strong communication skills into every home. I'm also comfortable helping with light housekeeping and caring for pets, as needed. I have been on Rover for about 2 years now ish, caring for dogs/cats. I would love the opportunity to be a dependable, caring presence in your child’s life and support your family with compassion and professionalism.

Booked by 2 families in Ada, MI

I am a great pet sitter because I treat every pet with patience, responsibility, and genuine care. I understand that pets are part of the family, and I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy while their owners are away. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and routines, to ensure pets experience as little disruption as possible. I pay close attention to behavior and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I’m calm and patient with pets of all personalities, whether they are energetic, shy, or anxious, and I take the time to build trust rather than rushing interactions. I also ensure that pets receive the appropriate exercise, playtime, and affection they need. I communicate clearly and consistently, providing updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are well cared for. Reliability, attention to detail, and compassion define how I care for animals.

Allyssa Grandville
$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi I’m Allyssa! I am offering childcare, pet care, and housesitting services. I have my own reliable transportation and have a flexible schedule! I have had experience caring for infants all the way up to 18 year olds. I have been babysitting since I was 12. I then worked as a Behavioral Technician for 2 years working one on one providing therapy services to children from 3 to 18 years old. I have experience with AAC devices, aggressive behaviors, helping with hygiene routines, and more. My last job was in a daycare where I cared for infants, toddlers, and up to preschool aged children. Diapers and naps don’t scare me. I also love animals and have years of experience with both dogs and cats. I grew up with a black lab and multiple cats throughout the years. I currently have a little grey little cat whom I love soo much. I can handle walks, playing, feeding, and lots of pets (if wanted of course). I am open to watching all kinds of animals. While I have never house sat before, I need to start somewhere!
