About Me

Hi, I’m Kenyon Gatlin — Founder of Nite Nite Baby

As a mom to a 1-year-old, former nanny, certified pediatric sleep consultant, and healthcare professional, I know firsthand how challenging sleep can be for little ones—and how much it impacts the entire family. My journey into pediatric sleep consulting wasn’t just professional; it was deeply personal.

Before becoming a mother, I worked as a nanny for two wonderful families, where I gained hands-on experience with infant and toddler sleep. I helped one family successfully sleep train their baby, and with the other, I witnessed the benefits of already-established sleep routines where the children slept independently. At the same time, I worked on a 911 ambulance in LA County while pursuing my education in healthcare. I earned my associate’s degree in health science while pregnant, with plans to start nursing school when my daughter turned 6 months old — life had other plans.

After a traumatic birth experience, my daughter spent 59 days in the NICU and came home with a G-tube, requiring multiple outpatient therapies. Those early months were an emotional and exhausting time, and I quickly realized that sleep was not just a luxury—it was a necessity for my well-being and my ability to care for my daughter. My husband and I made the decision to pause my nursing career so I could stay home and care for our daughter. I am incredibly grateful to my husband to have had that opportunity.

Motivated by our experience, I became a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant through the Center for Pediatric Sleep Management. Through both personal experience and professional training, I’ve developed a deep understanding of infant sleep, responsive caregiving, and the importance of rest for the whole family.

My goal with Nite Nite Baby is to walk alongside you during what can often feel like an overwhelming and exhausting time. I’m here to offer compassionate, evidence-based guidance that empowers you and your little one to develop healthy, independent sleep habits. You deserve to feel confident in your parenting, and your baby deserves the rest they need to thrive.

Let’s work together to bring more peace, rest, and joy back into your home.
