Hi! My name is Eryka Jackson, and I’m a 19-year-old college student studying both Nursing and Elementary Education. I’ve always had a passion for caring for others, especially children. With 9 younger siblings, I’ve gained years of hands-on experience in childcare — from bottle feeding and diaper changes to helping with homework and creating fun, safe activities.

Whether you're looking for help with daily routines, school support, or just someone trustworthy to care for your little ones, I’m here to help!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is WD (they/them). I love working with children of all ages, but I have a soft spot for the early years. A former caregiver to disabled adults and a future occupational therapy student, I'm especially interested in working with children with developmental disabilities.
I work well with families who are growth-oriented and direct in their communication. My approach to childcare is warm and attachment-based; I view the caregiver’s receptivity and ability to set and hold boundaries as the foundations of a strong child-caregiver relationship. I’m a strong organizer and planner and an excellent vegetarian cook; I love cooking with/for kids and am happy to take on household management duties for appropriate compensation. I believe that children need routines, and I enjoy planning activities with “the whole child” in mind, creating opportunities to explore across social, emotional, cognitive, sensory, fine- and gross-motor, and linguistic domains of development..

A little bit about me
I have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, including time as a preschool teacher and nanny for children ages infancy-school ages. What I really enjoy is working more closely with a family and supporting children in a consistent, nurturing home environment.
I focus a lot on creating structured but flexible routines, helping with emotional development, and keeping kids engaged through play and learning (without relying on screens). I’m also happy to help with things like meal prep, organization, and keeping the day running smoothly for you.
Families I’ve worked with appreciate that I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and proactive—I don’t just “watch” children, I support their growth and make your day easier.

A little bit about me
I will be graduating from Illinois State in December of 2024 with a degree in Early Childhood Education, and an endorsement in Special Education. I will also be CPR/First Aid certified in mid-December. I am currently finishing up my student teaching assignment in Olympia Fields, in a 1st grade classroom. I have been a nanny for the last 3 summers where I have taken care of two children (current ages are 7 and 5). I also spent the summer of 2023 working 3 days at Bobbie Noonan's where I primarily worked with the infants. I have maintained a 3.9 GPA at ISU, and was a memeber of the ISU gymnastics team all 4 years I attended. I love children and have a desire to grow with a family. I intend on using my background in education to be an active nanny by incorporating educational activities daily.

My husband and I were always at ease when we knew Naethalia was caring for our daughter. I would highly recommend her to any family and I can assure you that you will be very happy with her!"
