Verified caregivers in Hanover

Hanover is small and has almost no formal agency presence, which is usually why families here have already been through an informal arrangement that went wrong before they reach us. A cousin recommended someone, it worked for a while, and then it stopped.

The standard, in every parish

Every caregiver placed in Hanover is verified before the family meets her: ID checked in person, current JCF police certificate, two references telephoned by our team, interview, and a signed declaration.

Elder and patient-care files are also reviewed by our Registered Nurse before a caregiver is presented. CareLink places caregivers; we do not deliver nursing or medical services ourselves.

How verification works, step by step

Arranging care in Hanover from abroad

  • You interview her yourself on WhatsApp video, after reading her written profile. Nothing is confirmed until you are comfortable.
  • A local family member or neighbour can meet her first if you would like one to. It is not a requirement.
  • Under Diaspora Care we check in every week with your relative and her caregiver, and send you a short written update.
  • Overseas clients pay in US dollars by card or PayPal. The Jamaican dollar figure stays the fee of record.

What families in Hanover usually ask for

Elder care for a parent in the family home is the bulk of what Hanover families ask for, and it is usually live-out on most days with the option of someone staying over when needed. Lucea and Hopewell are where the majority of our enquiries originate.

Housekeeping for a family home comes a close second, particularly for houses that stand empty for parts of the year while their owners are abroad and need someone reliable going in. That is a trust question more than a skills question, which is what the reference calls are for.

Green Island and Sandy Bay are far enough west that matching locally matters more than anywhere else in the parish. A caregiver from Montego Bay will not sustain that commute, and we would rather say so than place someone who resigns in a month.

Questions from Hanover families

There are not many caregivers advertised in Hanover. Can you still place someone here?
Yes. We search for the role when you engage us rather than sending you a list of whoever happens to be advertising, and that search runs in Hanover and the bordering districts. Every candidate clears the same four checks regardless of which parish she comes from.
A helper my family found in Lucea stopped turning up. How is this different?
We telephone two work references ourselves before you ever meet her, and at least one has to be someone who employed her. We also interview her and check her ID against her face in person. It is not a guarantee of character, but it is the difference between a recommendation and a check, and if she does leave within thirty days we search again at no further fee.
Our family house in Hopewell is empty for months at a time. Can someone keep it?
Yes, on set days each week or fortnight. Where a caregiver runs errands or buys anything for the house, you provide a float and she brings receipts for every purchase, with a cap per trip written into her brief. CareLink never handles that money.
