A search is underway for a nanny caught on camera assaulting the young children she cared for.
The Nest video from the children’s room captured the nanny at a home in Morrisania in May. Police say the woman used a belt to hit a 4-year-old and 6-year-old several times. A third child also appears in the videos.
The family’s lawyer has not released video of the incidents.
The Bronx district attorney says a warrant is out for the nanny’s arrest.
The family lawyer says the nanny’s name is Lakeysha Jackson and she knew she was being recorded.
News 12 has been told Jackson worked through the Administration for Children’s Services Homemaking Program.
ACS says it takes the allegations very seriously and that the contracted provider terminated the woman from her position.
