Peach faced lovebird advice

I got her a week ago. Not so sure about the age or gender of the bird, but I’m assuming female because of the tail color, and her beak is still a little black, so I’m assuming it’s juvenile. I don’t know how to go about this. After day 3, I let her out of her cage, and she ran everywhere until she went back to her cage for food, and I closed it. I’ve been talking to her calmly and approaching her slowly. Yesterday, I got her to stand on my phone after playing lovebird singing on YouTube, and I managed to walk all the way till I put her in her cage. I’m not so sure if I’m going too fast or not. So far, she got from running around the cage from fear first day to her grooming herself and standing on one leg while I’m next to her talking softly. How can I get her not to be scared of the hand monster and show her that I wish her no harm? I have zero experience with birds so where do I go from here?
