A little bit about me

I am a 22 year old recent college graduate from Western Michigan University. I graduated with a major in Public Relations and a double minor in Spanish and Marketing. For my free time I like to go outdoors and rollerblade, swim, hammock, and be with friends! I am a very social/outgoing person who can have a conversation with just about anyone.
I have been watching kids since I was 11 years old. I started off by working with infants at my church's nursery. I then would babysit my little cousins, neighbors, and family friends. I do have experience working with children with special needs as well.

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.
