Serenity helped take care of our infant son Leonardo for three months in the summer of 2021.

Serenity was wonderful with Leo. Serenity would play and interact with him, take him for walks, go out on the swing-swet, making him feel special and that he had a buddy in Serenity, who genuinely cared for him and took excellent care. Serenity placed Leo's safety as a priority at all times, and she was incredibly helpful with other tasks related to Leo, such as giving him baths, introducing solids, getting him to nap, holistic care, and more.

We found that Serenity often went above and beyond what we asked, thinking about his meal prep in advance, ways to help Leo's development- this included how he interacted with toys, getting him to crawl to cruise, and helping him explore things he was curious in.

Serenity would also send my wife and I helpful information that helped us as parents- this was to guide us as first time parents, and also things that could help Leo, such as healthy eating and transitioning to solids. 

I would highly recommend Serenity as a doula and caretaker.

Hi! 

My experience with Serenity was wonderful! She was very, very supportive at a time I needed the most support I've ever needed in my life so far. She provided me with resources, she was there when I needed someone to talk to and vent to, she was honestly there when no one else wasn't. I'm forever grateful for having her as my doula. It was my very first time having one I'm glad her and I were matched.

I was introduced to Serenity in my 3rd trimester after reading her bio about how the health of black mothers was a priority to her. This was important for me and she has shown this in every encounter and interaction. Serenity was very informative in our prenatal meetings, she is very articulate, knowledgeable, & passionate about what she does. While I was in labor she never left my side, she was very attentive& supportive. I'm very glad that she was there. Even after going home she has been checking in on my recovery. My family will be forever grateful.
