What a full-time nanny involves
A full-time or live-in nanny works set hours every week, often looks after the household's children all day, and is usually employed directly by the family. In Cayman that typically means arranging a work permit if the nanny is not Caymanian, and taking on the responsibilities of an employer.
When a babysitter is the better fit
If you need help a few times a week, for date nights, school holidays or work trips, a regular babysitter gives you nanny-style continuity without a full-time commitment. You book the hours you need, and you can still have the same familiar sitter each time.
After-school care in between
For working parents, the gap between school pick-up and the end of the work day is often the hardest part. A regular after-school sitter can cover those hours with snacks, homework help and play, several days a week.
Overnight and travel cover
When parents travel off-island, an overnight sitter can stay in the home and keep school runs, meals and bedtimes on track, for one night or several weeks.
Common questions
Do I need a work permit to hire a babysitting service in Cayman?
When you book an independent babysitting service, the service is responsible for its own arrangements. Hiring a nanny directly as your employee is different, so check the current requirements with the Cayman Islands government if you are considering that.
