Hello devoted parent, I am a calm and loving caregiver from Vancouver, B.C. with 15 years of experience caring for children aged two and up, and four years' experience caring for infants. I am currently available for part-time work in Nashville. I am particularly interested in caring for children aged 5 months to 1.5 years and working with families who would like to incorporate music education and basic sign-language into their children’s lives. My diverse background includes training and certification in CPR, first-aid, life guarding, music education, dispute resolution, and law. I combine all of my skills and abilities from this rich experience to provide your children with engaging, educational, loving, and supportive activities and care. Two special elements that I bring as a nanny are basic sign-language and music therapy. These have proven deeply rewarding for the children I have worked with. The sign-language for babies aged ~5 months Read more to 2 years is particularly powerful because it gives them a means to communicate needs and thoughts before their speech physiology has developed. I have seen repeatedly how joyful and peaceful children are when they know they are being understood by the adults around them. As part of my legal and nannying backgrounds I have been background checked several times over the years. (Always with a clean report). I would be happy to go through this process again should you wish. I am reliable, punctual, personable, and positive. I have a valid Driver's License, an excellent record, and a car. I am a native English speaker. I can also read to your children in French and Spanish (and converse at a basic level in these languages). My philosophy and approach to childcare and education is informed by my faith in God, and my belief that children are whole persons deserving of the same respect and consideration as adults. In particular, I am inspired by the values and approaches of Mr. Rogers, RIE (Resources of Infant Educarers, Magda Gerber, Janet Lansbury), and Dr. Robin Berman (“Permission to Parent”). Message or email me for rates, to book an initial meeting to discuss your needs and expectations, or to ask any questions you might have. Warmly, Soraiya Campbell P.S. I am allergic to cats, but happy to be around dogs and other pets.
