What Parents Are Saying!
"Jackie made our lives so much easier in the first months of our first daughter's life. She brought calm energy and love into a space that was sleep deprived and fearful. We can't recommend her highly enough. Our oldest is now twelve, and we still love Jackie!"
Katherine R, San Francisco
“We've been working with Serenity Night Doulas for the first 6 weeks of our daughter's life, and honestly, I have no idea how anyone does anything else. I have been sleeping SO WELL and I've learned so much about how to care for and soothe my daughter... it's been completely lovely. Jaclyn, the owner, has been the primary doula working with us. She is so kind, polite, patient, thoughtful, punctual, effective and hard working. She's also such an amazing communicator... I feel so at peace and never have to wonder what's going on or if we've seen eye-to-eye on things. She's really spoiled me for all future childcare relationships!
Jaclyn works 8 hours a night (or has another doula from her team come for 8 hours on her nights off). She helps get my daughter to sleep and soothes her back to sleep when appropriate, or brings her into my room to breastfeed when appropriate. She also straightens up the living space, washes bottles & milk catchers, does dishes and baby laundry. My husband likes to joke that it's like waking up to find that helpful elves visited our house in the night and everything is just slightly better. I'm dreading the day when we say goodbye to Jaclyn.. it's been such a blessing for my daughter, my mental health, my healing, and marital harmony in my relationship. Absolutely worth it.”

“Jaclyn and her team (mostly Ana, Larissa, Lucianna) provided night doula services for the first fourth months of my daughter’s life. Jaclyn helped to coordinate the schedule and was incredibly accommodating when my daughter had to be hospitalized. The Doulas took great care of our daughter and took the time to learn how to help her given her special needs. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a night doula and would 100% work with them again.”
Stephanie L, San Francisco
"Serenity Night Doulas are incredibly specialized in overnight infant care. Jaclyn, the owner, found us a doula, Luciana, at the last minute for two weeks. Luciana cared for our daughter as if she was her own. Meanwhile, Jaclyn provided excellent customer service: she always asked for feedback, and responded to all our questions within 24 hours. We highly recommend Serenity Night Doula Services to all parents, especially new parents like ourselves."

"Jaclyn was so impressive with our 3-month old! We let her know that our little one resists sleeping during the afternoon. But, on her very first session, she amazingly got him down for a few hours. She even gave us some suggestions on things to try to get him to sleep quicker. So glad we met Jaclyn with her amazing swaddle skills and gentle touch!"

“I highly recommend Jackie, she’s good people, and great with kids. She was with us for 4 months with our second, from the day he got home from the hospital; he was a couple weeks premature because my wife had to get chemo immediately post-partum, so we especially appreciated what she did for us in terms of allowing me to focus on the older one at night, and my wife to have the ability to rest.
Jackie is very knowledgeable about newborn health, in particular their overnight habits and how these change over the first few months. She is a night owl herself, which makes her perfectly suited for overnight work, ie she doesn’t sleep on the job even if you offer her/encourage her to.
She was always timely and reliable, and very fair about her hours/compensation. 5 stars!! Thanks Jackie!! Hope to have your help again soon!!”

"Jackie was a wonderful addition to my postpartum care team! I was induced one month before my contract with her began, and she went above and beyond to provide me with excellent night-doulas to support me while she completed existing client commitments. I knew that my daughter was safe and cared for under Jackie's care as a night doula. She was prompt, always on time, reliable, kind, supportive, and took great care of my baby in the first few months. She provided me guidance on "sleep shaping" to try and help stretch my daughter's sleep intervals (it worked- yay!), and she was always helpful and available to answer questions and provide guidance around sleep training, feeding, etc. She helped with doing dishes and cleaning/sterilizing bottle and pump equipment, too. You can trust her and know you are being cared for by an experienced professional!”

"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!"
