None of my messages are getting sent to any of the candidates for my job.
Getting a hold of someone for a billing and account issue was a terrible experience.

I found a number of new ladies that I think I would get along with.
Not as intuitive and easy to use as other hired care and professional services sites.
We appreciate your review. We'll be sure to share your feedback with our management team.
I can't message the potential nannies. The website says it can't be done right now.
Hi Fritz!
Thank you for sharing your feedback! I'm sorry to hear this! Are you able to message me back letting me know if this issue was resolved for you?
Seems like a great way to find a nanny! I'm excited to see who applies.
So far, so good. This seems like a well thought out & well organized service.
I'm unable to successfully send a message to a potential caregiver after just signing up!

I have always used care. Com... when I needed work.
Now I am needing help.
Hi Dawna, We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.
The cost is high and the up sales are annoying. Otherwise, so far so good.
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.
Easy to use. I like that I can provide specific details for what I need.
Thanks so much for the great review! I’m happy to hear you are finding success with the site!
So far so good... this is my first time. It is very easy to use.
Hello Doreen, Thank you for the 5 star review.
I need to work with it more to know for sure if it is good.
Hi Debbie, Thank you for the review and membership.
I don't want to pay your cost. I can find someone without using your website.
Easy to join, I like that you can do a basic search before you join
We appreciate the great review, thanks! I will be sure to share your valued feedback with our product team.

Hard to navigate. Upset that I had to become a premium member to message anyone.

It would be nice to be able to pay monthly instead of one lump sum.
How many upgrades to I need to do to contact someone interested in my position?
You can post your job for free, but would need to upgrade your account when you are ready to message applicants. Once you have hired a caregiver, you do not need to maintain the membership while the caregiver is employed by you. If you have a question on the membership or your account, we'd be happy to assist you if you want to reach out to us through our Help Center's contact us form found at help.care.com.

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
