A little bit about me

Hello- I'm Blair Arnell and I recently obtained my B.S. from Miami University and am looking for a role as a nanny while I continue my studies. I am working online to expand my background in Cybersecurity and Information Security and was prepared to enter the professional world, but believe I want more personal and professional development before I make this jump. I have been a nanny in the past and found it incredibly rewarding, which is why I believe this is a better route for me at the moment. In the right role, I would stay long-term and make this route permanent. I know my goal right now is to build a strong foundation and gain valuable experience working with children and in a household setting.
