A taxpayer-funded babysitter who mercilessly beat two young children flashed a carefree smile Wednesday when she was finally arrested – nearly a month after videos of the attacks were given to authorities.
La’keysha Jackson, 24, vacantly smirked Wednesday as NYPD detectives led her out of the Bronx Special Victims Unit, hours after cops cuffed her for beating a pair of kids with a belt nearly 60 times.
La’keysha Jackson was caught on camera allegedly beating kids in her care.
“Our clients can rest easier now knowing that Ms. Jackson is no longer on the street,” the family’s lawyer, Daniel Szalkiewicz, told The Post. “We thank the NYPD for helping this family heal and for ensuring there will be accountability for Ms. Jackson’s actions.”
The horrifying video was turned over to cops May 6, but it was a month before a warrant was issued for her arrest — and another two weeks before she was taken into custody.
“Our clients can rest easier now knowing that Ms. Jackson is no longer on the street,” the family’s lawyer, Daniel Szalkiewicz, told The Post. “We thank the NYPD for helping this family heal and for ensuring there will be accountability for Ms. Jackson’s actions.”
Jackson worked for Bronx mother Geraldine Jaramillo starting last year via a contractor paid for by the city’s Administration for Children’s Services that provides struggling families with baby-sitters to help with caretaking.
Jackson, boasting a sadistic smile, was arrested Wednesday, over a month after the video was turned over to cops.
Nearly $400 million in city contracts have been awarded to the vendor, Selfhelp, since 2008, according to city records.
Before the family discovered the beatings, everyone “loved” Jackson — including teachers at the kids’ school, Jaramillo recalled.

"Hi La’keysha"
June 18, 2025. This happened last year. Still, thank you for posting.
Anyone whose given name is La’keysha should not be watching children or pets, for that matter.
NYPD cop-cars have leather interiors? WOW!
Here she is......in action.
We thank the NYPD for helping this family heal and for ensuring there will be accountability for Ms. Jackson’s actions.”
Don’t count on it; there’s the progressive NYC DA to consider.
Even with those teeth, Aunt Jemima she ain’t!
They should have one piece vinyl covered seats with no seams or partitions. I went to nursing school with a woman whose husband was a cop, and he told her it was not unusual for perps to defecate and urinate in the squad cars. Of course, the cops were responsible for cleaning up after them.
Bet there are some ambulaance-chasers looking to tap some deep NYC pockets here. After all, the city hired her and was paying her salary, shouldn't they be held liable? No wonder it took a while to arrest her, the city could be on the hook for millions.
LET’S SEE:
WE PAY FOR THE KIDS TO BE BORN-—
WE PAY THE PARENT (s) WITH SECTION 8 HOUSING
WE PAY FOR SNAP
WE MAY FOR MEDICAID
WE PAY FOR THE “BABY SITTER”
IS THERE ANYTHING THE ACTUAL PARENTS PAY FOR?????
I be beatn’ them honkies whens I gets de chance!
Demon.
Sad part is, this bitch will probably never see a day in jail.
If I were a parent i would let a few gang members know what happened. Take care of itself.
Many of them are 1 piece, molded fiberglass just for that reason.

When you aren't spending your own money, but only the taxpayers' money, and you get a kickback from the dealership, no expense is too great...
