Booked by 1 family in Maple Rapids, MI

I have been babysitting/ had experience with small children since I was 9 or 10- first with my little brother and cousins and later babysitting outside the home. I helped with Vacation Bible School and Sunday School for many years, as a leader. I now have nieces and nephews that I have babysat over the years too. Kids seem to like me fairly quickly- I honestly think it's the curly hair doing a lot of the work lol I love doing crafts or reading (voices and all) and my family loves to play games. As far as the fur babies- I grew up having cats, all my friends have cats, my mom used to foster for the Humane Society and I've got my own 2 handsome sons. I have also had experience living with a dog, as well as dogsitting and I am very comfortable around them. I like to keep my spaces pretty tidy and organized and clean my own home regularly. You can often find me gently bossing my friend around so she gets her chores and tasks done lol

Adalyn $20 per hour for 1 child

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.

Noelle $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!
