Hi! We’re Nicky & Cheryl.
We’re here for you.
Hello!
At Serene Bebe, we're more than just a team of experienced caregivers. We're Nicky and Cheryl, two lifelong friends and passionate birth workers who founded Serene Bebe to support families with young children.
As parents ourselves, we understand the challenges and joys of parenting and the deep impact of the early days with a newborn. We've been there… navigating the ups and downs of pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum recovery, and SLEEP.
We first met in June of 2007 at our very first doula training, and we immediately knew that we shared a passion for supporting families during the incredible and transformative journey of childbirth and parenting. We believe that every family and every child is unique, and we strive to provide individualized care and support that is tailored to your specific needs and preferences. Over the years, we've supported more families than we can count as they welcomed their little ones into the world! We've seen firsthand the powerful impact that compassionate and personalized care can have on families, and we've built deep connections with the families we've served.
We know how important it is to have a support system in place, and a desire to provide that support to more families (and more doulas) is what inspired us to join together. So In February 2022 we made the exciting decision to merge Nicky Quick & Co, and Cheryl’s solo practice, into Serene Bebe!
With Serene Bebe, we're committed to building a strong community of doulas who share our values and passion for supporting families. Our team of caregivers and consultants is made up of mothers and professionals, all carefully selected and trained to provide the highest level of care and support to growing families and families with young children.
We’re Cheryl & Nicky.
We’re here for you.

Want to know if we’re right for you?
You probably feel a mix of emotions as you prepare for or journey into parenthood, and that's completely normal, no matter how new or seasoned a parent you are.
Wherever you are in your journey — from newly expecting your first baby to snuggling your sleepless infant as you read this in the wee hours of the morning before getting up to make breakfast and head to school drop-off — we're here to support you.
…It could be that you have carefully weighed your options, done your research, and you know that with a doula by your side you are more likely to experience birth and parenthood with greater satisfaction and lower rates of interventions, complications, and setbacks; all the while understanding each stage and development so much better.
…Or it could be that you're confident in your gut instincts and know that with Serene Bebe by your side you can retain as much control over your process as possible and adjust to you life as parents with greater ease (and more sleep).
… Perhaps you’re feeling more than a little bit nervous about, well… everything… and don’t want to go it alone. You and your partner need the right support: unwavering, unbiased, and unconditional, and are searching for exactly that.
At Serene Bebe, we believe that every family’s path into parenthood is unique. It is our honor to walk you on your path, providing you with the unwavering support you need to make this the most of this meaningful time in your life. We are so happy to get to know you along the way, building connection and giving you the reassurance you need to feel confident as your family grows.
… We’ll be there, helping you overcome your nerves about your birth plans and getting excited for the growth of your family. We’ll help you and your partner navigate labor and delivery and the birth journey you’re on, as your baby is born and you become parents, stronger together than ever.
…We’ll stand by your side, believing in you even in the moments you doubt yourself, helping you adjust to the many transitions of welcoming your little one and of early parenting. We’re committed to you and your needs, no matter what.
… And we’ll be your trusted guides, helping you navigate life with your newborn, getting you the nighttime rest you need to be there for your baby each moment of the day. We’ll be coming in clutch with expert tricks and exactly what you need as you learn each new expression this beautiful, brand new member of your family makes. We're here to help you adjust to parenthood with greater ease and flexibility.
If any of this resonates with you, you’re a Serene Family shoo-in, and we can’t wait to have you join the many families we’ve been honored to support. We look forward to providing you with our very best care, every step of the way, helping you to overcome the hurdles and celebrate the milestones in pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and early parenting.
Whether you need overnight care, doula services, birth and parenting education, sleep consulting, breastfeeding support, live-in newborn care, travel assistance, or some combo of those options, we're here to help. Contact us to learn more about how we can support you and your family to thrive.
If you're looking for personalized, compassionate care from a team who truly understands what you're going through…
