Hi my name is Lyka! I live in the Bay Area and I’m also a current second year biology major at UC Riverside. I currently work at the Little Gym of Millbrae a children’s physical development and enrichment center that offers gymnastics based classes, camps, and birthday parties for kids ranging from 4 months to 12 years old. I’ve been working at the Little Gym for over 3 years since junior year of high school. Looking to find a side job to help pay the cost for my college tuition so I thought babysitting would best fit since I have working experience with kids in different ranges up till 12!
“Lyka took great care of our daughter. She arrived on time made sure she understood how things worked and then played with our daughter for the entire evening. She clearly was able to care for her and anticipate problems. She fed her dinner and got her ready for bed, including teeth, brushing with no issues. We are happy to have her back.”
Hi! My name is Grace and I'm currently in school for my Masters in Social Work. I am offering child care and senior care. I love pets, too! Child care experience: I have 5+ years working with kids between the ages of 0-18 in educational and therapeutic contexts. I love playing sports, doing arts activities, exploring, & letting kids be themselves. I have experience cooking healthy, delicious meals, helping with homework, implementing bedtime routines, changing diapers, and helping out with chores. Senior care experience: I am someone who grew up spending time with my grandparents and great-grandmother, playing cards together, cooking steaks, riding horses, driving, and talking. I also spent a lot of time by my grandfather's bedside while he was passing away, helping him to be comfortable and to know that he was loved. In addition to offering my presence and connection, I am able to drive, cook, clean, do laundry, organize, and run errands, too. I hope to hear from you!
“We were so fortunate to have Grace care for our three children on an as-needed basis. She is kind, patient and thoughtful, and our kids always felt safe and happy in her care. Beyond childcare, she has a natural gift for working with seniors, offering both companionship and support with special needs in a way that shows genuine compassion. She is honest, trustworthy, and dependable. These qualities gave us peace of mind whenever she was with our family. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a reliable and caring person to help with their loved ones.”
Hi! I’m Maeve, I’m 29 years old and living in the Mission after moving from the East Coast. I’ve been caring for people of all ages since I was about 12 and genuinely love creating environments that are nurturing, fun, and driven by curiosity. I originally went to school for elementary education, and have a true appreciation for childhood development and learning through play. The majority of my experience is with the “little” years - most recently I nannied for a family with a 10 month old and 3 year old. I’m very comfortable with nap schedules and diaper changes, but also love the fun that comes with toddlers - energy, arts and crafts, and playing pretend. Beyond childcare, I have personal experience caring for seniors in my own family (specifically with dementia) and am comfortable in roles that require higher levels of responsibility. I’m a huge animal lover, and happy to help with pets as needed. I also never mind helping with meal prep, light housework, whatever is needed to keep the days running smoother. All in all, I’m looking to be a reliable & helpful extra set of hands for local families. I’d love to chat further about how I can help your household!
Hello! My name is Fatima, I am a college student, I offer child care, pet care, and house care services. I’ve been watching infants, toddlers and kids since I was 14 years old, I am Mexican, I am an only child but I have a big family and I would be in charge of taking care of my little cousins and learned as I got older and then i would take care of my nephews and nieces, my responsibilities were at the time making sure they ate and did their homework, while their parents did their work and their children didn’t interrupt them. Depending on age depends on what I do, with infants and toddlers I change diapers bottle fed and prep their baby food. Kids I cook, play with them help them with their homework and help them clean up. I have experience in house care as well I cook and clean, house will always be clean and never messy under my care. I love cats and dogs and will be able to care for them as well!
“She is responsible, warm, professional, energetic and we can’t wait for her to come back! ”
Hi, I'm Roselyn! As a mom to an 8-year-old, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring for your children. I have an Associate's Degree in Psychology, nursing education from the Philippines, and I'm currently studying toward a career in Occupational Therapy. My education and parenting experience have given me a strong foundation in child development, safety, and caregiving. I strive to provide a fun, safe, and supportive environment for every child in my care.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
