› Do you cover Treasure Beach for visitors and villa guests?
Yes. Treasure Beach sees regular requests from visiting families and villa guests who need a vetted sitter for specific dates. For a short stay we quote one all-inclusive daily rate per booking with no separate matching fee — message us your dates on WhatsApp for a same-day quote.
› How are St. Elizabeth caregivers verified?
The same four checks used everywhere on CareLink: her government ID is checked against her face, she must provide a current JCF Police Certificate issued within the last 6 months — no exceptions — her references are personally telephoned by us, and she is interviewed before she is ever presented to a family.
› Can I find a helper or housekeeper in St. Elizabeth too?
Yes. Household helpers, housekeepers, and cooks go through the identical four checks, and every placement comes with a written role brief — duties, days, hours, and household standards agreed before day one. See /helpers/st-elizabeth.
› Can I hire a full-time nanny or live-in helper in St. Elizabeth?
Yes. A full-time or live-in placement carries a one-time Matching & Verification Fee of J$25,000; a recurring part-time role (set days each week) is J$15,000. The fee is fixed and the same for everyone, and includes the complete search, all four checks, the written role brief, and the 30-Day Replacement Guarantee. Her salary is separate and agreed directly between you and her. See /pricing.
› Is coverage thinner in rural St. Elizabeth?
Honestly, yes — the parish is large and spread out, so a match in a rural district can take longer than in Santa Cruz or Black River. We will tell you plainly what is achievable for your location and schedule rather than promise a match we cannot make.
