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!
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!
Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, gained through my personal background. I grew up in foster care and spent much of my life helping care for my younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe, nurturing environment. I’m comfortable assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, and engaging kids in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and playtime, as well as helping with light household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, laundry, and errands. I’m dependable, punctual, and take pride in being someone families can trust.
