It's been a day since I've signed on. Give me a bit more time to provide a more thorough assessment of your site.
A little confusing navigating the sign up options so I stayed with the basic and said no to all of the additional options.
I have reached out to the reviewer and didn't receive a response. Please visit our Help Center link at https://help.care.com/ for additional help.
Rating was because of the pricing. Overall, I think it's a solid tool, but the graduations b/w pricing levels are a bit steep.
We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.
Thank you,

Still trying to figure it out - I got stuck trying to save job description multiple times, and not sure it ever worked. Glitch?

The price on the email was 51% off for a quarter and I got charged the full price minus 10%. This is misleading.

Not a fan of subscription services for a limited time situation, not to mention all the prompts for upgrades. It feels very tacky.

Your site never informed me, before soliciting information, that I would have to pay to actually read responses. I think that is disingenuous.

Too difficult to use the site. Keeps going on circles and too many extra subscriptions. It should not be this hard to use

How do I connect with applicant? For some reason the app says I declined her. Opposite! I want to send her a msg

I could not intuitively find a description of the upgrades from the website. I had to do a google search which isn't ideal.
Hi Sharon,
If you visit our Help Center, we have a search bar there that explains the differences in our memberships. :)
Site is slow to load, cannot hit "back" once on applicants, returns to same page and no option to return to my profile.

A little taken aback by the cost of this service only identified at the end of the process. Please identify costs up front.
We appreciate your review. We'll be sure to share your feedback with our management team.
I really don't like the "add on" charges! What exactly am I paying for with the "premium" considering all the optional add ons?

It should be clear from the start that there is a monthly fee. It gives the impression that you are asking to be a caregiver rather than hire one.

I was really looking to make phone calls. I am old school and like to get overview information about the company and how the process works!
Hi Vicki, We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.
I haven't heard anything back yet so I don't have much to offer. I was told it was $25 to get access for sitters but I somehow paid $43+
This website seeks to nickel and dime for every little service. This is just my first day and I am already regretting subscribing to the service.
Hi Michelle, 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.
I was bait and switched to paying more than was perceived for the best savings of 12 months. I would like to speak to someone ASAP!

It has been friendly, but not sure how to contact people and it has been very expensive to get every done with no ending in site.
Hi Jane,
Thank you for reaching out! So happy to hear you are finding success with the site! We really appreciate you sharing your experience! In order to contact, you can message who you are interested in using the message feature. :)
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
