A Leeds mum-of-four who quit her job to start OnlyFans has made enough money to follow her dream of riding and buy four horses.
Elise Parker, 37, from Leeds, worked as a social worker for ten years, working 16-hour days and weekends, when she decided to quit her job for OnlyFans. She claimed her busy job was making her so stressed that she had no time for herself or her four children.
The 37-year-old had heard of OnlyFans but hadn't thought about doing it herself until her youngest son’s riding instructor mentioned someone had bought a £20,000 horse with their earnings from the site.

Elise began making content in March 2021 for OnlyFans, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter, by September she had quit her job and was making content full time. Her salary was £30,000 per year when she left social work, but now she earns up to five times her annual salary, making between £8,000 and £16,500 a month - she also used £7,000 to buy four horses to follow her dream of riding.
She said: “When I was younger I would work on the yard but I wouldn't get to compete because I didn't own a horse. We just couldn't afford it. I would wish I could go to pony camps and be a part of it but it was never going to be something we could achieve.
''My son loves horses and loves riding, so now I can give him all the experiences I never got to have. We are looking to get him a show horse so that he can compete at a really high level. I am so grateful that I can provide this for him.
''This is literally my dream life. If you had asked me where I would want to be by this age, I would have said this. I've got a supportive partner, I ride horses all day and I earn an incredible amount of money."
As a child, Elise loved horses and had a dream of riding competitively but as the child of a single parent, her family could never afford it. Now she owns four horses and is taking riding lessons to live out the dream she’s had since she was 10.
Although the mum of four can work from anywhere, any time, and can create whatever content she wants she claims it wasn’t 'always that easy'. Her first six months were hard as she had to quit her job with just £1,500 in the bank and an uncertain future ahead, she was also apprehensive about posting explicit content and wasn’t sure how people online would react to her body after having four children.
But the Leeds mum eventually found her niche - MILF related content. Her earnings from OnlyFans increased from September 2021 when she made a TikTok account and they’ve just been going up from there.
Elise said: “At first my eldest son struggled but now he can see how much happier I am. My younger three are happy too - I don’t snap at them or say no as often because I’m nowhere near as stressed.
“They recognise that we have a lot more money than before but also that they have their mum there for them all the time. I rekindled my relationship last year and my partner has just been great - he’s even my cameraman!
''I have always been confident about my looks but I worried about my stretch marks. I’ve found that men actually love it! All these years I thought that men hated stretch marks but it’s almost desirable for them now. It’s made me so much for confident, I hadn’t worn a bikini in years but now I love being in a bikini or lingerie - my stretch marks don’t bother me at all.”
She uses Youtube, TikTok and Instagram to share her personality, involving a mix of her explicit content and a real-life view of her horse riding journey.
Elise hopes that her experience can show people that you can be a mum and earn a good income without being stressed. She also wants women to feel more confident in their bodies, she added: “I’ve found now that men love my stretch marks and they are HOT!
“I hope women can learn to love the body that they are in. I look at my stretch marks and then I look at why I have them and I think about how could ever hate something that gave me my wonderful kids.
“I want every woman to look at themselves in the mirror and think ‘this body is the vessel I was blessed with so I’m going to love it as much as I can!’”
