Kylie Richardson
Sleep Consultant
Sonoma County, Ca.
My name is Kylie Richardson, and I am a Pediatric Sleep Consultant with Sleep Wise Consulting. I was born, raised, and still reside in Northern California with my boyfriend, Jason, and our son, Cole!
From an early age, I knew I wanted to work with children and families.
I graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Child Development. After graduation, I began working as a preschool teacher and found my passion for supporting children and their families through the most formative years. Continuing my education to achieve an associate degree in Early Childhood Education and Administration, I then moved into a Preschool Director role.
The first 5 years of a child’s life are not only the most formative for them. They’re also the most formative for their families.
Navigating new skills comes with many joys and challenges and it can be hard to find the joy when you’re sleep deprived!
Just as I did during my time as a teacher and director, I promise families a safe and trusting environment to learn and grow together, on the journey to getting the sleep they deserve! After my son, Cole, was born, I decided to step down from a role that I loved, to be at home full-time with him. (I was nervous admittedly) When I became a mom, I felt like my life’s greatest purpose had been found. I spent the first few months relishing skin to skin, nursing, caregiving, and I loved it. But as time went on, I noticed a pull in my heart, my passion for supporting families, craving to be met. I wasn’t sure what was next for me, but I knew my heart was yearning and open to new opportunities.
Sleep is extremely important to me.
Throughout the many chapters of my life, I have prioritized sleep because I know how big of an impact it has on my life. This didn’t waver when I became a mom. Everyone told me, “Just wait, you will never sleep with a baby. It’s just part of being a parent.” but I refused to accept this. When my son was 10 weeks old, a co-worker referred us to Sleep Wise. Little did I know that referral would change my life.
I know I am not the only current or execting parent that has heard the warning of the lack of sleep during parenthood.
As a mom, friend, and sleep consultant, I can promise you that doesn’t have to be the case. Sleep is imperative to our growth and well-being, and I became a Sleep Consultant to help support families to sleep well and live their best lives!
