Jaclyn McGlynn
Doula & Newborn Care Specialist
Welcome—and thank you for visiting! I'm the owner/manager of Serenity Night Doula Services, a CA state licensed and nationally registered care provider. My small company has grown into a tight-knit team of certified Postpartum Doulas and Newborn Care Specialists, serving families in San Francisco, and across the Bay Area.
Our primary mission is to help relieve some of the stress that can be associated with the newborn stage, by providing dependable, skilled and customized support during those early weeks.
If you are interested in booking our services, or are curious to learn more about what we do, please reach out to me for a free consultation!
WHAT IS A POSTPARTUM DOULA?
“Postpartum Doulas provide families with information and support on infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from childbirth, infant soothing, and coping skills for new parents.” -from Postpartum Support International
As a certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, my primary role is to help bring calm and peace of mind to your family during the first few months after birth (AKA the "4th trimester"). I specialize in awake, overnight support: tending to all of your newborn’s needs throughout the night, so that you can get that much-needed rest—while knowing your little one is attentively cared for while you recharge.
Aside from feeding, burping, changing and soothing your newborn while you rest... There are countless ways in which night doulas can support individual families! For instance, we coach first-time parents on soothing and swaddling techniques, and can answer questions about newborn development. We’re there to guide and support parents on their lactation journeys, and/or to help introduce bottles. We help to establish healthy routines early on, by monitoring and keeping track of baby's sleeping and feeding patterns. We'll assist with daily tasks such as washing/sanitizing bottles and pump machine parts, and can assist with household duties such as laundry, tidying the nursery and kitchen, or prepping meals. We can provide care for siblings; and, of course, postpartum wellness and emotional support.
