I don't see why I have to pay in order to find someone to pay. The financial stress of hiring someone for my elderly mother is hard enough
The subscription offering is misleading I thought the initial payment would e for the first month at $12.95 not the full annual payment of $155..

I don't like having to click on each person to see the full Bio. I would like to review and scroll all from one page.
Hi Corey, We appreciate your review. We'll be sure to share your feedback with our management team.
I was swindled by viewing the messages indicated I could find a sitter same day. Now I paid for a monthly subscription that was a waste of funds.

Great service. Well organized and easy to use. Appreciate the helpful tips and suggestions. Felt a little nickle-and-dimed with the add ons.
We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.
No easy to navigate and reach out to sitters in specific zipcode. The location for care and my home address is different.

This website was deceiving in what it would do for me. I thought payroll services would be included. I am very dissapointed.
Hi Laura!
Thank you for sharing your feedback! Are you able to message me back with some more detail on the issue? Are you referring to our payment center?
Not clear on what is covered under each of the membership offers. For example, are background checks included on the premium pkg?

For some reason your site makes me log in when viewing from the search page, then reroutes me to the main dashboard.

CANT GET MY 1040'S EITHER
THE TWO WEBSITES GO IN CIRCLES WITH EACH OTHER

Subscriptions are way too expensive. It's absolutely ridiculous that you have to pay that much money just to reply to messages.
Hi Ashley, We appreciate your review. We'll be sure to share your feedback with our management team.
Answer: Hello, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and they are currently investigating Care.com. This is important enough to me that they have scammed me out of 6 months of payments and I had to close my credit card for Fraud. If you have had a bad experience with Care.com, I would encourage you to file a complaint with BBB. If enough people complain, then they will take more serious action. Here is the website. It is a short process to submit a complaint. https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started
Answer: Steer clear from Care.com or what we prefer to call Care-aless. Com! They are only about profit for them. The site is for trollers that prey on innocent families. You'd be better off putting an ad in your local newspaper. Most local newspapers also have online readership too!
Answer: I am determined to shut this site down. I am contacting news programs, The Today Show, Good Morning America and any and all others. Shut them down!
Answer: I would be cautious. I hope she is not moving for the job, as that is NOT a good idea. I get text messages daily from people asking me to email them (often for a friend), or someone coming from out of town or whatever. I delete these right away. First of all, they should go through the regular website and email you. No one would hire anyone without first meeting them, checking references, etc. I am sitting at the home of someone I took with through the Care site. I first communicated via email, then set up a face to face and met the kids. If it seems too good to be true, it is. USE COMMON SENSE! Seriously, if you don't have common sense you really shouldn't be taking care of kids, pets or anyone else!
Answer: This is so sad! I have been on both sides as I have an assisted living home in Pensacola Florida. I used care.com to staff my home; awful. Then when I had myself on as a provider they suspended me for a 14 year old non viloent misdemeanor, and they did not even have my permission to check past 7. They want you to get crappy providers, the good ones are kicked off because once ya get a good one, you no longer need them. Cash cow corrupt company who makes rules up as they go along, I heard 20/20 is doing a special. I plan to contact them, as I am verifiably the best care coordinator hands down, extremely good with direct care. You will only ever be returned 1 month contact the Federal Trade Commission file a complaint that's what I did, the more problems the better the case against care, com
Answer: Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they have a big money backer and can screw people of their money and lack of customer service? They should be called, I don't care.com
Answer: If I were you I'd choose another site. Care.com is terrible.
Answer: Some of the clients are looking for cheap labor through the internet for housekeeping. I usually tell the person to call me back for interview finish. Then I would tell them that I am self-employed and they would need to file a 1099 for taxes to IRS.
Answer: Care.com is set up for parents that pay for the service... Parents can enroll for free and place and add. However, If they do not forward their credit card any messages from caregivers will have a blocked phone number. The babysitter cam also enroll for free and make a profile for her services. However if she does nor forward her credit card she can only apply to 8 jobs every 28 days and only the ads from parents that have paid for an account will be able to contact her. DO NOT respond to anyone contacting you on your phone that did not contact through Care.com first... This is always a scam... The message will look like this: I am moving to your area soon and need car for my son/daughter. Kindly respond to my email.(They are looking to scam you for money.)
Answer: Sitter city.com could help you. I have honestly had nothing but problems with care.com. They make up rules as they decide not how things are written and do not follow their own privacy policy. They feed on single moms and dads. As well as children providing for aging parents You can place an add on Craigslist as well, for free and your prospective employee provides their own background check as it can be a most recent one and obtained by themselves at 5 to 10 dollars
