Hi, I’m Jaclyn.
I’ve been working directly with families in the Bay Area since 2008, and my specialty is in overnight newborn care. I also provide daytime and 24-hour support. My ambition is to bring peace of mind to each client's experience, by providing tailored and reliable care during the “4th trimester”—and sometimes longer!
Complementing my birthworker training from International Childbirth Education Association, Cornerstone Doula Trainings, and Natural Resources here in the Bay Area, I’m also Newborn Care Specialist with Newborn Care Solutions, and certified in Infant and Pediatric CPR/First Aid through the Red Cross and the American Heart Association. My company, known as Serenity Night Doulas, is licensed and insured.
I believe in supporting the newborn’s family as a whole, and being receptive to my clients’ individual requests. My style is gentle, engaged and flexible. I am educated on safe sleep practices, knowledgeable about infant development, and welcoming of opportunities to accommodate diverse needs and approaches!
My business is growing to become a team of several night doulas and newborn care specialists. Please check back for website updates in 2025, to include information and photos of our team!
"I can't recommend Jaclyn highly enough. We were around the 4-5 week mark with our first baby, and we realized we just needed some breaks at night - for both our baby's sake and our own health. Jaclyn was very professional and warm at the same time. She's terrific around little ones. We wish we had worked with Jaclyn even sooner!"
— Matt and Carolyn M, San Francisco
“We’ve been working with Jaclyn for the past month helping with our 2-months old daughter. Jaclyn is amazing and she already helps to train our daughter - she’s sleeping 4.5 hours at 7-weeks old.”
— Dmytro D, San Francisco
During my overnight shifts, I anticipate and meet your newborn’s needs on-time, and I calmly aid them in learning to connect their sleep cycles through the night. Often, by the time the newborn stage ends, many babies are predictably sleeping for 6+ hour stretches at night.
