About Doug

Hi, I'm Doug, husband to Sanjay and proud dad to Arya. We are so excited to be expecting identical twins this summer and become a family of 5!

Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine this life for me as a young LGBTQ person, and I couldn’t be more thankful. Being a parent has been the most rewarding journey I have ever been on and it just gets better every day!

What’s your top parenting tip?

We have always found that having a consistent nighttime routine helps all of us to get a good night's sleep. We have recently added Nanit’s new Sound Machine and Nightlight as part of that routine, combined with the Nanit Camera to give us peace of mind in the evening after bedtime.

COLABORADORES

Natalie Barnett, PhD serves as VP of Clinical Research at Nanit. Natalie initiated sleep research collaborations at Nanit and in her current role, Natalie oversees collaborations with researchers at hospitals and universities around the world who use the Nanit camera to better understand pediatric sleep and leads the internal sleep and development research programs at Nanit.

Kristy Ojala is Nanit’s Digital Content Director. She spends way too much time looking at maps and weather forecasts and pictures of Devon Rex cats and no-cook dinners. A former sleep champion, she strives to share trustworthy somnabulism tips with other parents—praying for that one fine day when no tiny humans wake her up while it’s still dark out. Her kids highly recommend 3 books, approximately 600 stuffies, Chopin’s “Nocturnes,” and the Nanit Sound + Light for bedtime success.

Mackenzie Sangster is on the Brand and Community team at Nanit. She supports content development and editing for Nanit’s Parent Confidently blog as well as other marketing initiatives. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with her friends, cooking, being active, and using the Pro + Flex Duo to keep an eye on her fur-baby, Poppy!
