As the founder of Best Slept Secret, Sunanda brings a unique perspective to pediatric sleep support. With well over a decade of experience working with children and families as a career nanny and preschool teacher, she understands the many challenges of parenthood.

Her dedicated journey in family care began in the San Francisco Bay Area pursuing formal early childhood education and additional professional trainings for work with young children. Early in her career, she was deeply inspired by M. Montessori educational philosophy and Magda Gerber's RIE principles, which she incorporated into her work with children in the classrooms and family homes. Her natural ability to connect with children, combined with her creative talents and resourcefulness made her a trusted partner to families raising their children.

Throughout her career, Sunanda has extensively supported diverse families through many stages of early childhood, from establishing routines and navigating feeding and sleep transitions, to potty training, developmentally appropriate play, and creating safe, nurturing home environments. She has been a thoughtful resource and a calm, reassuring presence to families in times of need.

Through her experiences, she saw firsthand how deeply sleep affects the entire family, from the exhausting days of unpredictable naps to nights disrupted by frequent wakings. Helping families navigate child sleep has been a natural extension of her work and a particular passion. This led her to pursue certification in pediatric sleep consulting to combine her practical experience with sleep science and help parents find calmer rhythms, easier nights, predictable schedules, and more enjoyable parenting.

"I trust that my holistic approach, and practical, attuned support will bring positive sleep changes to your home.”

I can’t wait to support you!
