Slow and steady is the key... you have to be patient. The gecko won't become hand-tame overnight.

Get the gecko accustomed to your hands by cleaning, and letting it walk over your fingers inside the cage. Once the gecko seems comfortable with that, then pick it up, but keep your arms inside the tank so that it won't fall to the floor if it decides to 'jump ship'

Baby geckos are flighty and spook easily, so keep your movements slow and deliberate.
