Hi Blanca, We appreciate your review. We'll be sure to share your feedback with our management team.
Having problems saving my job. Added it yesterday and it is gone today. Had to redo the job completely.
Hi Joan!
Thank you for sharing your feedback! I am so sorry to hear this! Please message me if you are still having this issue! I would be happy to assist you!
Didn't like not knowing up front that I'd need to subscribe to be able to contact prospective care givers.
We are a paid subscription service and not a free service. I'm sorry if you thought otherwise and therefore felt mislead. That was never our intention. Many sites like ours charge a fee in order to be able to offer you the features our site offers. Otherwise we'd just be like any other free classified site with very little to offer. We wish you luck in your search for care.
Just unsure about connecting with caregivers on this forum and switching caregivers. I will see how this goes. Thanks.

Tried to pay for a subscription and not able to complete transaction but not clear why it won't work
Paying 40 dollars a month just to message someone what a freaking racket. Cannot wait to cancel this subscription.

Need search filter for days/times. Too much time wasted clicking on people that are not a match for days/times.
All the options for pricing should be up front. Not every time you click to add to the subscription.

Having "technical" difficulties immediately after I pay. I can't access services I just paid for. Not reassuring at all.

This is my 1st time using this site. So far no one has responded to my inquire. This service should be free and you pay when you use the service.
Not being able to respond to messages or applicants unless you "upgrade" is akin to a bait and switch.

Having only a statement from the caregiver and requiring extra for background checks makes the service a poor value.

It's easy to navigate and search for caregivers. Unfortunately, it's a little expensive with few caregivers in my area.
I paid for annual membership & download the app then it will not let me log in on the app. Asks me to join…. Ugh. I need help not hassle
Pretty straightforward, provided value up front, and east to apply discount code. Easy to see the value in upgrading.
We're glad to have you here! Thanks for being a Care.com member!
I abhor the experience you've created. It feels sneaky and manipulative and I will try very hard to find an alternative ASAP.

Very disappointed at how expensive it is for the first time using it. Would recommend having a cheaper discount for a first-time user.
Hello Michael, 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
