The CareLink Promise

60-Minute Replacement Guarantee.

If your CareLink sitter cancels last-minute, we replace her in 60 minutes across Kingston Metro — or your next booking is on us. Period.

No fine-print fees. No call-centre runaround. Texted backup, every time.

Our written promise to every Jamaican parent

“If your confirmed CareLink sitter cancels within 4 hours of the start time, we will dispatch a verified replacement to your address within 60 minutes — or we credit your account for a full free booking of equal value, no questions asked.”

— CareLink Jamaica, posted publicly so we can be held to it.

How the guarantee works

Three simple steps. No claims forms, no waiting on email.

Step 1

Your sitter cancels.

It happens — buses run late, kids get sick. The moment we get her cancellation, we tag your booking as Guarantee Active.

Step 2

We dispatch a backup.

Our concierge pulls from a vetted standby pool by parish. You get a WhatsApp message with the replacement sitter's profile, ETA, and Police Cert status — within 60 minutes.

Step 3

If we miss it, your next session is free.

No claim form. We auto-credit your account in JMD for a same-length booking, applied to any future session within 90 days.

Why we can promise this when no one else does

Most Jamaican childcare runs on a single sitter. When she can’t come, parents are stuck. We built the platform from day one to fix that.

  • Standby pool in every Kingston Metro neighbourhood. Liguanea, Half Way Tree, Mona, New Kingston, Portmore, Spanish Town — we keep at least three Police-Cert verified sitters on call in each.
  • WhatsApp dispatch, not voicemail. The moment we get a cancellation, our concierge fans out a paid short-notice request. Most replacements confirm in under 15 minutes.
  • Replacements paid a short-notice premium. Backup sitters get a guaranteed +30% rate, paid by us. Your rate doesn’t change.
  • Cancellations tracked, not buried. Sitters who cancel more than twice in 90 days are reviewed. Reliability is a verification standard, same as the JCF Police Cert.

What you get when we miss the 60-minute window

The honest fine print

We wrote this in plain English so you don’t have to read a terms page. Three things to know.

Where the guarantee applies

  • Kingston Metro: Kingston, St. Andrew, parts of St. Catherine (Portmore, Spanish Town). Full 60-minute coverage.
  • St. James (Montego Bay): 90-minute coverage window for Ironshore, Bogue, Coral Gardens, Catherine Hall.
  • Other parishes: Best-effort dispatch. If we miss, the credit still applies.

When the guarantee starts

  • When your booking is confirmed at least 4 hours before start time. Same-day urgent bookings have a separate policy.
  • When your sitter cancels within 4 hours of start. If she cancels with more notice, we re-match you the standard way and the credit doesn’t apply.
  • When your account is in good standing — no unpaid balance.

When it doesn’t apply

  • Acts of God or public emergency. Hurricane warnings, island-wide curfew, JCF security events — we’ll still try, but the timer pauses.
  • Parent cancellations. If you cancel, the guarantee doesn’t fire. Standard refund policy applies.
  • Direct WhatsApp arrangements with sitters. The guarantee only covers bookings confirmed through CareLink. If you arrange directly off-platform, you’re on your own.

The only Jamaican childcare service that promises a backup.

Reliable care isn’t about hiring once. It’s about what happens when life gets in the way. We built this for the days you can’t afford a no-show.
