Care in Hanover
Parish capital: Lucea
Hanover is one of the island's smallest parishes. Resort employment along its western end shades into Negril's, and the interior is agricultural. Negril-adjacent areas sit at the higher end of local pay.
Many families here are staffing around resort hours, so evening and weekend cover is a common need.
Companion care in the smaller communities is the main elder-care request, often arranged from overseas.
Communities we cover: Lucea · Green Island · Hopewell · Sandy Bay · Cascade

Common questions — Hanover
Do you cover the Negril end of Hanover?
Yes. Hanover's western communities sit close to the Negril resort strip, and we treat that whole area as one labour market when we search — a caregiver living in Green Island or Hopewell may well be the right match for a household on the Negril side. Travel time is the practical limit, so tell us your start times.
How much does childcare cost in Hanover?
Standard babysitting in Hanover runs $600–$850 JMD per hour for one or two children aged 3+. Premium rates ($1,000–$1,400/hr) apply for newborns, special needs, ECE-credentialed caregivers, or overnight care. You pay your caregiver directly — CareLink takes no percentage of her rate.
Do you offer elder and patient care in Hanover?
Yes. The same four-step verification we built for childcare — JCF Police Certificate, AI document review, reference checks, and ID verification — applies to our companion, live-in, and post-hospital caregivers in Hanover. See /elder-care for details.
How are Hanover caregivers verified?
Every CareLink caregiver in Hanover uploads a current JCF Police Certificate, which we verify with AI vision plus manual review. Caregivers also have their government ID checked against their face, their references personally telephoned by us, and an interview before they are presented to any family.
