Pricing is high for membership, looking into other platforms with more affordable pricing and reaching out through friends and family for referrals.
I have reached out to the reviewer and didn't receive a response.

Confusing regarding membership and fees. It promises free limited service but if you try to do anything it wants you to pay.
Hello Erin, 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.
It was ok - I was looking for someone to help with a hospital appointment, and it was not included in the lists.

The website advertised overnight staying, after paying, I don't see any overnight services with a flat fee. I see only hourly rates!

Surprised you are not charging me extra to review you. Not happy with the add this, add that, for another fee. Ridiculous

I did everything I could and there was a problem. Have no idea nor how to fix the problem - what was it?
I don't like that when I use the messaging window I can't easily scroll back to see other parts of the message.

Its good, but there are a lot of options right off the bat and its a little overwhelming for a new user...
Hi Amanda,
Thank you for your feedback! We appreciate your review. We'll be sure to share your feedback with our management team. I am so glad to hear you are enjoying the site.
WAY too expensive and add-ons are a nearly a scam. I would not have subscribed if I was not in urgent need.

I literally used this for maybe 6 hours. I want a refund, not this membership benefit stuff I'm not going to use.

It's glitchy and doesn't work well. Old messages pop up as new, new ones don't come up on time, then they disappear all together. It's very weird.

Seems a great way to find a caregiver for my husband who has memory and balance problems and transport to a doctor's appointment in Syracuse.
Hi Emily, We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.
The sitters are awful, might as well ask a neighbor and the site charges you even when you cancel or dont even use the service!
Sorry to hear this! We encourage you to leave reviews on caregiver's profile to share your experience with them with families who might be interested in hiring them. Feel free to email us at careteam@care.com or message us on Facebook or Twitter for any account specific questions or concern!
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
