Starting down a new career path can be so exciting, but it can also be one of the scariest times of our lives. It can shake so many aspects of our lives up – especially the balance between family life and our professional goals. I’ve put together this guide on how to become a pediatric sleep consultant in just 4 steps!
My own journey into the world of pediatric sleep consulting began in a place you’re probably familiar with.
I wanted a career in which I could help people – but I didn’t want to sacrifice precious time with my family.
Before I became a baby sleep expert, I was a nurse!
I loved my job and found that I had a calling to help those around me. But (as I’m sure many of you know!) nursing hours are LONG. While I loved my job, I was finding myself exhausted at the end of the day.
And, I felt guilty for missing so much of my kids’ lives. I’m sure all of the moms out there resonate with that feeling.
You can read more about my personal story here, but in simple terms…
Becoming a pediatric sleep consultant transformed my life.
And, I’d love to help you change yours! So here are my 4 easy steps to launch your own life-changing career today!
Step 1: Decide if Pediatric Sleep Consulting is for you…
This career, as rewarding as it is, may not be for everyone. Before jumping into how to become a pediatric sleep consultant, find out if being one is right for you.
Pediatric Sleep Consulting is for you if…
- You’re stuck in a career that you might like, but don’t LOVE.
- You’re looking for your true passion that also brings in the $$.
- You want a work-life balance that lets you spend time with your children and loved ones.
- You genuinely care for people and want to help families thrive.
On the other hand, it might not be for you if…
- You don’t want to take the time to get educated in this field.
- You’d rather work in an office over your home.
- You don’t like hearing babies cry (that is a significant portion of this job!).
Step 2: The Application Process
Okay, if you’ve decided that you fall into category 1… the next step is a simple one.
You can find the application to the Institute of Pediatric Sleep and Parenting here.
And, I know that this is an exciting time, filled with eagerness to dive right in – so you’ll receive a response within 24 hours if you are approved. That means that if you apply today, you could get going on your courses as soon as TOMORROW.
Step 3: Tuition Payment
After you’re approved, the next step is to secure your spot on the program. And remember, this investment isn’t just into your education, but it’s about changing your future. There are a whole lot of baby sleep training programs out there, but I created IPSP to be the go-to, in-depth, comprehensive training program that will equip you with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in this field.
You don’t want to go cheap on your education in this field – knowing your stuff will give you a huge step up from the competition.
Step 4: Start Learning!
With all of the administrative details done, this is where the real adventure begins!
But don’t worry, I won’t have you on your computer 8 hours a day, furiously taking notes. The IPSP course is designed to be flexible, catering to the busy lives I know we all lead. Whether you’re juggling family responsibilities, a current job, or whatever else life is throwing at you, our program allows you to learn at your own pace.
That flexibility doesn’t mean isolation, though! I am just a call or text away for all of my students – ready to provide encouragement, answer any questions, or share insights about my own journey into pediatric sleep consulting!
