Amazing News! Our client has been granted a Sponsor Licence to hire babysitters from abroad under the UK Skilled Worker visa.
This achievement is particularly significant as babysitters were recently added to the Skilled Worker visa list, opening new opportunities for families and childcare providers in the UK.
Effective from 4th April 2024, babysitters now qualify for the Skilled Worker Visa, recognising their essential role in family life and the economy. This change addresses the shortage of childcare workers and allows babysitters to bring their dependants, fostering a comprehensive immigration approach.
Babysitters play a crucial role in community support, enabling parents, especially mothers, to work. The new rules also update the Occupation Code from 6122 to 6114, including babysitters and other childcare roles, expanding opportunities in this field.
