"Jimmy," I said, "I have some problems here and I was wondering if you could keep my mother company while I'm busy. " My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy served my mom her treats, and presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had practiced the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep conversation.

It seems a little oddly constructed. It would be good to understand the nature of the “treats” that are being served. Perhaps additional context would help.

The answer depends on whose treats it is. If it was Jimmy's treats, then it would be: Jimmy served my mom his treats. If it was the mom's treats, then it would be: Jimmy served my mom her treats. Hope this helps.
