Sherlan Miller
Brooklyn,NY
Summary
Hello,
My name is Sherlan Miller and I am from the beautiful island of Saint Lucia. I moved to the US in 2003 and it has taught me so much. How to keep going and not giving up. We all have our struggles, but to me they make me stronger. I became a full time nanny in 2007 and the rest is history. In 2019 I got pregnant and gave birth to a beautiful baby girl in 2020 and again to a handsome baby boy in 2022. I became a SAHM from 2020 until 2024. Now I understand what is it to be a parent. It has it's highs and lows, but I wouldn't trade ot for anything in the world. Being a nanny has taught me so much; patience, kindness, empathetic, a good listener, loving and a go getter. If you hire me to be a part of your family, I would do my best to make you smile and at ease.
Thank you for your time.
