what is the common word for someone who is a tattletale?

Question

What is the common french word for someone who is a  "tattletale", specifically a child.  I have seen the verb "dénouncer" in my lessons but not the noun.  What would be used in a primary school where there are always children who "tattletale"? Dénounceur/euse?    Merci!
