Hi!! My name is Toni, I am a sophomore at George Washington University majoring in public health with a minor in psychology. A lot of my experience with kids and pets has been through volunteering. I volunteered as a daycare assistant at St. Ann’s Center for Children, Youth, and Families. I worked with children ages 3-5 at an afterschool program. I also volunteered as a tutor for ages 5-11 at Rogers Heights Elementary School. I am also currently an algebra 2 math tutor. With pets I volunteer at my local humane society, I walk and play with the animals, as well as help with cleaning.

Hello! My name is Guinevere (or Guin for short), and I am a 21-year-old Senior at the George Washington University pursuing a double BA in Journalism and Photography. I'm originally from Chicago and currently live in the Foggy Bottom area. I have been babysitting since I was 13 years old and love working with kids. I was an overnight camp counselor for 2 years in Newaygo, MI and learned so much from that experience. As someone who grew up with sleep anxiety as a kid, I learned how to calm kids down from panic attacks and use different soothing techniques to help them get to bed. After my time at Newaygo, I worked as a day camp counselor and art teacher at Lillstreet Arts Center in Chicago for 4 years. I have a background in art, singing, theatre, dance and more. I would love to do crafts with your kiddos and help them find new ways to express themselves! I would be happy to teach music to any little one who has an interest in learning as well :) I love to cook (and I'd like to say I'm pretty good) and would be happy to make meals for your kiddos. I love pets of all kinds and I look forward to making connections with your lovely families/communities! Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Best wishes, Guin MacLowry
