About Me:

From Pastime to Profession
 

When you’re considered the "go-to baby whisperer” throughout your childhood and teenage years, it’s extremely fitting to end up in a field that revolves around children. For me, it was fate – and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My name is Megan Donlon and I am the CEO and founder of Countdown to Sleep, LLC. I am a dual-certified pediatric sleep consultant with a concentration in newborn sleep, as well as a member of The International Association of Child Sleep Consultants.

I’ve had a love for children for as long as I can remember, but my passion for sleep consulting only began to develop a few years ago when I was a nanny for two fun-loving and energetic children. Like so many infants, they lacked the ability to fall asleep independently, which not only impacted their hardworking and overtired parents, but also me as their primary caretaker. We often wondered if they’d ever sleep outside of our arms, for longer than 35-minutes.

Eventually, after trying our own “tried and true” methods without success, we decided to invest in a professional: a Sleep Consultant. With both kids, there were monumental changes in their behavior once their sleep plans were adjusted. They were sleeping 100% independently, and they were on an appropriate sleep schedule. They actually started to LOVE bedtime... It felt like a miracle! 

After witnessing firsthand what kind of work these specialists do, as well as how it could dramatically affect families’ lives for the better, I decided to become certified and go into business for myself so that I could be a part of this bigger picture. There’s nothing that I love more than having a business that helps others find peaceful sleep and as a result, family harmony.

I’m thrilled to officially begin my journey as a sleep consultant for Countdown to Sleep, LLC while working with other highly skilled pediatric sleep consultants as we collaborate and communicate new ways to make what we do infallibly effective. Nothing feels more rewarding than giving families the wonderful gift of sleep!
