Pricing
Simple, honest pricing.
One fee per service. No negotiation, no surprises — and every caregiver clears the same four checks, no matter what you pay.
The same four checks, at every price
- Government ID checked against her face
- JCF Police Certificate
- References personally telephoned
- Interview
Every caregiver must provide a JCF Police Certificate. If hers is still processing, we show you the Tax Office receipt and tell you plainly which check is outstanding before you meet her.

Overseas clients pay the US price by card or PayPal. Local clients pay J$ by NCB bank transfer.

Elderly & patient care placements follow the same structure — Full Placement J$25,000, Recurring Part-Time J$15,000 — with the identical four-check verification.
And what will she be paid?
Our fee is fixed. Her wage is separate, and agreed directly between you and her. So you are not guessing, here are the going rates in Jamaica in 2026 — the same figures we publish in our rate guides.
Standard
$700–$1,000JMD/hr
One or two children aged 3+.
Premium
$1,200–$1,800JMD/hr
Newborn, special needs, or credentialed caregivers.
Highest in the country.
Ongoing roles
Helper / housekeeper — full-time live-out
45–50 hours.
J$18,000–J$25,000 per week
Helper / housekeeper — live-in
Plus room and board.
J$14,000–J$20,000 per week
Nanny — full-time live-out
Varies with hours, parish, and number of children.
J$35,000–J$80,000 per week
Elder care — live-out hourly
Higher for clinical experience (post-stroke, dementia).
J$500–J$900 per hour
Elder care — live-in
Plus room and board.
J$80,000–J$180,000 per month
These are guidance bands, not quotes, and not caps — every caregiver sets her own rate. The legal floor is Jamaica’s minimum wage of J$17,000 per 40-hour week (J$425/hr) from July 2026, and room and board cannot substitute for cash wages. Her wage is paid to her, not to CareLink.
Included on every placement
The CareLink 30-Day Replacement Guarantee.
If your placed caregiver resigns or isn’t the right fit within 30 days of her first working day, we conduct a replacement search and full verification at no additional fee.
The terms, in plain sight
- Applies to the Full Placement and Recurring Part-Time tiers.
- One replacement cycle per placement fee.
- The 30 days run from the caregiver's first working day.
- The replacement is for the same role as originally agreed.
Pricing questions
Do caregivers pay anything?+
Never. Joining and placement are 100% free for caregivers. Families pay; caregivers never do.
Is the fee negotiable?+
No. One fee per service, the same for everyone. That's how we keep it fair.
What if you can't find someone?+
We conduct an extensive, genuine search and we'll be honest with you throughout about what's achievable for your role and budget. Our commitment is 45 days: if we have not presented a suitable verified candidate within 45 days of your fee, you can continue the search at no cost or take a full refund of the placement fee.
Does a cheaper tier mean less vetting?+
Never. Every caregiver clears the identical four checks regardless of tier. The fee reflects the size of the search, not the depth of the vetting.
What does the caregiver's salary cost?+
That's separate from our fee and agreed directly for your role; we'll guide you on realistic market rates for what you need.
One fixed fee. Every caregiver, fully checked.
Tell us what your family needs and we’ll begin the search — the same four checks, whichever tier you choose.
