YOU can help open the First-of-Its-Kind Wellness Space for Chicagoland Families
Something big is coming to Chicagoland.
Nurture19 is building a groundbreaking wellness space where parents can access affordable childcare, mental health care, household support, and professional resources—all under one roof.
Co-founded by a Chicagoland native and mom of 2, we know how hard parents work—and we believe it’s time they had real support.
Chicagoland is READY for Nurture19
Chicagoland parents are juggling more than ever—commutes, careers, caregiving, and the everyday mental load of running a family. Between the cost of childcare, the shortage of flexible support, and the isolation so many parents feel, the cracks in the system are showing.
Nurture19 is designed to meet that moment.
From the suburbs to the city, families here are resilient—but they need more than resilience. They need real relief. That’s why we’re bringing our very first Nurture19 location to Chicagoland: a space where families can access on-demand childcare, wellness services, mental health care, and daily life support—all under one roof.
Because this region doesn’t just need a solution. It’s ready to lead the way.
Chicago families deserve better. Join us!
Meet Erica
I’m Erica - co-founder of Nurture19. I was born and raised in the greater Chicagoland area. My parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents all called Illinois home. And now, as a maternal mental health counselor working with families across this region, I see the reality behind closed doors every day.
As a maternal mental health therapist, I’ve sat with moms who feel like they’re failing—when in truth, they’re just trying to survive an impossible load and navigate a system that is frankly rigged against them. I’ve heard the exhaustion in their voices, and I’ve lived it myself as a working mom.
This work is more than professional. It’s personal. It’s rooted in my lived experience, my clinical expertise, and my deep belief in the strength of this community.
Bringing Nurture19 to Chicagoland isn’t just about launching a space. It’s about starting a movement—in a place that raised me, shaped me, and showed me just how much parents deserve better.
