Booked by 11 families in Colton, CA

Hi my name is Lyka! I’m from the Bay Area but I’m a current second year biology major at UC Riverside so I live in Riverside currently. I work at the Little Gym of Millbrae when I’m for the holidays or school breaks. The Little Gym of Millbrae is 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! Since UrbanSitter, I have experiences when it comes to diaper change, bottle feeding, and putting babiies down for a nap or sleep. I also have a recent experience working an overnight shift this summer with a 7 month old baby. When it comes to toddlers, working at the Little Gym paved a way for me to learn how to interact with kids, read a book for them, and many other things that a child needs! Besides little gym I’ve always had the passion and patience to work with kids. If you have any questions or if I seem like a great fit for this shift please feel free to reach out to me. Thank you!

Hello! I'm a full-time college student studying Biology. On my time off, I like to read, bake, and binge a show. I come from a bigger family so I've always helped take care of people when I can. I enjoy helping others with academics since I've had roles as a mentor/tutor from middle through high school. I'm comfortable in the kitchen and cleaning up around the house.

"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!"
