Wentworth’s Babysitter
Rose Green, who lives in Beech Road, started taking care of Wentworth Miller when he was four months old and looked after him until he left the country a year later.
“It came through a neighbour of mine,” she said. “Wentworth’s parents asked if she would look after him. She said she couldn’t but she knew someone who probably could, which was me.”
And so Mrs Green looked after the baby during the day while his mother, Joy, taught special needs children at Upper Heyford US Airforce base.
“He was lovely,” Mrs Green recalled, “Very placid. I’m not a childminder, I was just doing it as a favour, but he was really nice.
“When they went back to America, his mum said ‘he’ll never ever forget you’ and I said I would never do it again because it broke my heart when he went, I got so attached to him.”
And he was the only baby she ever looked after - apart from her three children and two grand- children.
Mrs Green still keeps in touch with the family and gets letters and pictures at least once a year.

I used to babysit Wentworth and his 2 younger sisters when they lived in Park Slope, Brooklyn for about 4 years. Leigh was just born when I sat for them. Wentworth went to Poly Prep if memory serves me correctly.
I would love to chat with his mom Joy again. Last time I saw her was in Key Food in Windsor Terrece and she said they moved to the other side of Prospect Park. I wonder if Wentworth or the Miller’s kept in contact with anyone from 12th Street?
I hope someone can pass this on to the Miller family.. I really would love to say hi.. its been a very long time.
