Guin $21 per hour for 1 child

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

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
