A little bit about me…
I’m a caring, reliable nanny with about 8 years of babysitting experience, along with experience working in a daycare setting. I’m comfortable with light housekeeping, daily routines, and caring for kids of all ages, with a special love for infants. I tend to be quiet at first, but once I warm up I’m energetic, playful, and very tuned in to each child’s emotional and physical well‑being. I’m passionate about creating a safe, calm, and fun environment where kids can thrive.

I love working with children, but found that the classroom environment can be a bit much. Give me just a few kiddos to work full-time with, though, and you'll find I do just fine!

Hello! My name is Elly Miller. I am a people person through and through. I simply love kids, and so once I gained the proper skills, and certifications I started babysitting. Kids safety, happiness, and success are super important to me. I love encouraging kids to be their authentic self, while also learning how to advance in their life in a mature way. I just want kids to feel safe, loved, and supported. I am willing to put in the time, energy, and care into the kids I nanny/babysit because I know the impact a good nanny can have.
