Hey there, families! My name is Lyra, and I hail from the land of breakfast tacos and live music, Austin, Texas. I am currently a Neuroscience and Psychology student at the UT Austin, which means I know exactly how to get inside your kids' heads! Just kidding...or am I? When it comes to children, I bring a unique blend of experience, creativity, and love. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants to teenagers, and even those with special needs. I've coached, tutored, mentored, and played with them all! My passion is engaging kids in imaginative and creative play, especially activities that challenge them both physically and mentally. I've got a background in theatre and acting, which means I can lead the kids in a game of "let's pretend," or even act out some of their favorite stories. And let's not forget my love for reading - I'm Read more happy to help your little ones get lost in a good book, or even write their own stories! Now, let's get down to business. Safety is my top priority, and that's why I am Health Care Provider CPR & First Aid Certified. So, if the kiddos scrape their knees or bump their heads, I'll be ready to handle it with ease. Overall, I am thrilled to bring my skills, experience, and personality to your family. Let's work together to create a fun, safe, and engaging environment for your children. I look forward to meeting you!

Lyra is amazing!! ❤️She took car of my 4 month old daughter when I went back to work. She was so lovely and professional, not to mention really good at her job. I was so pleased with her that we continue to request her. Highly recommend her

I hired Lyra for my two children, and she was such a joy to be around. She quickly became my kid's friend and planned fun activities for them to do together. She is extremely resourceful and has natural talent for engaging kids. My youngest is so curious, and Lyra has taught her such fun skills. She is extremely creative and trustworthy. My kids are in love with her. We are so excited to see her every week!
