Today we’d like to introduce you to Cassidy Leggett.
Hi Cassidy , it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
My passion for working with children began early on, which led me to earn my degree in Family and Child Development from Texas State University. After working closely with families, I realized that sleep—something so foundational and vital for a child’s development and a parent’s mental health—was often the area they struggled with most. That realization really pushed me to dive deeper and find real solutions for these families.
That’s what led me to become a Certified Infant and Child Sleep Consultant. Studying to become a consultant opened the door to supporting newborns, so I also became certified as a Newborn Care Specialist. I started my business, Habitual Sleepers, here in Austin, Texas, with the mission of helping families improve sleep and giving parents more tools in their parenting toolbox so they can feel confident and reassured that they’re building a healthy sleep foundation for their children.
Through my work, I quickly realized how interconnected sleep and behavior are—especially when supporting toddlers—so I pursued additional certification as a Child Behavior Specialist. I’m truly passionate about all things sleep, development, and behavior.
My goal is to support children in developing a secure attachment to their sleep environment and to educate families on how to nurture that attachment in a way that aligns with their individual parenting style. There’s truly a method to sleep that honors each family’s attunement to their child.
Today, I work hands-on with families both locally and virtually, helping them create sustainable routines and teach their children self-soothing skills from the newborn stage through early childhood—always with a focus on building confidence, connection, and long-term healthy sleep habits. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch families find their rhythm, feel more educated, and go from merely surviving to truly thriving.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It has been a journey of learning the business side of things, and I’ve learned a great deal about ensuring the families I support receive white-glove service.
As you know, we’re big fans of Habitual Sleepers. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
I want readers to know that I am always striving to learn more about sleep, behavior, and development. As a professional in this niche industry, I want families to know that I am well-rounded and committed to helping as many families as possible, regardless of the type of sleep coaching they’re looking for. My passion is to help families raise regulated children and ensure their quality of life is nothing short of the BEST!
