Zemaye 1 review
$35 per hour for 1 child

I am a high-energy extrovert who truly loves creating "backyard adventures" for the little ones I care for! With over 10 years of residency in San Francisco, I am well-versed in the city’s best museums, parks, and extracurricular activities. I have 2 years of experience specifically with infants and toddlers, and I pride myself on bringing a bubbly personality and a constant smile to every playdate. Beyond childcare, I am a trusted pet sitter for cats and dogs, and I am always happy to help with light household tasks. Recently, I spent time supporting a close friend following a medical emergency. She had a stroke during the first month of pregnancy and lost function of her right hand. I was able to provide full-time care for her 5-month-old and managing household chores so she could focus on recovery. I find deep fulfillment in being the person a family can lean on. I look forward to bringing that same dedication, joy, and local expertise to your home!

Zemaye is very helpful! She was very attentive of my 5 month old child. I would highly recommend her services!

Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi, my name is Gislaine. I’m originally from Brazil and 46 years old. I am a responsible, dedicated childcare professional with extensive experience caring for newborns, twins, and toddlers, available for weekdays, weekends, and evenings. I specialize in creating engaging, fun, and developmentally appropriate activities that support children’s growth and learning. I am CPR certified and trained in sleep routines, and I hold certifications as a Postpartum Doula, with additional training in Montessori methods and lactation support. I am also happy to assist with light housekeeping and organization related to the children, helping to keep the home running smoothly and minimizing parents’ workload. I am fluent in Portuguese, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, and English, and I hold a Bachelor’s degree in International Business. As a mother of two sons whom I raised on my own—both now college graduates—I bring not only professional experience but also deep personal understanding, patience, and care. I truly love working with children and would be happy to support your family.

Gislaine responded to a last minute request to babysit when my daughter got sick and I couldn't be at home for the full day. When she came to the house, she asked great questions, played with my daughter, and comforted her. She was very responsive throughout the day and sent me updates. I plan to have her come back tomorrow.
