Booked by 6 families in San Bruno, CA

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!

Autumn $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Autumn. I have been working with children since I was sixteen years old and I am now 26. I recently moved to California from Colorado in May. In Colorado, I worked for an elementary school where I assisted children between the ages of four and eleven years old, primarily focusing on small group management, and building their educational skillsets. When school was out for the summer, I worked for a popular summer camp called Galileo. I recently worked at the Galileo in Burlingame this summer. Outside of that, I have done my fair share of babysitting and can provide references upon request. I currently work at an elementary school in Millbrae as a SPED paraprofessional. Aside from my experience in childcare, I graduated with a bachelors degree in photography at The University of Colorado Denver. I used to spend my free time volunteering at the Dumb Friends League animal shelter in Colorado. I also have experience in pet sitting and can provide references for that as well. I am an extremely organized and detail-oriented person. I am very tidy and believe that clean spaces will allow for more productivity. I am a very fun and nurturing person. People will often describe me as silly, engaging and loving. I am extremely good with kids between the ages of four and nine. While I don’t have much experience with infants, it is something I would be potentially open to. I have my own car and reliable transportation. I am looking forward to meeting and working with some wonderful and amazing families. Please reach out if you think I’d be a great fit for you.
