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.
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!
“Lyka is fantastic! Warm, kind, and extremely caring. Punctual, enthusiastic, and sweet with my son. They played a lot together and he was very happy! Can’t wait to see Lyka again ;) ”
