Website seems promising
August 23, 2022

Website seems promising. The add-on services are a little hard to figure out what is needed and for how long.

Don't like being forced to pay a membership fee just to be able to read or send a message.

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 don't like that you don't find out that you are pre-charged for the length of your membership until the last screen after you have entered credit card info. Be upfront about about it. I had to google to understand options. I like how easy it is to search.

I would think Care.com would background check the folks you are recommending to clients., instead of charging additional fees for such.

So far so good, it's my first day
September 21, 2022

So far so good, it's my first day. Before I paid it showed several caregiver options close to my area, but after I paid there were very few options in my area. A bit misleading.

The website and app make it very difficult to change my address after moving. I had to delete my account and start a new one. This was very frustrating.

Only after I paid the premium cost, did I have access to information that the tutor I selected was not available. I obviously cannot have a refund, due to policy. Even though I was specific that our needs were specifically for high school tutors, the great majority of nearby tutors were listed as elementary. So far, I have wasted money that is not readily available to me.

I just started, but advertisements claim that using Care.com is free but in order to see who is available to fill the position you post, you must join. It's a little deceptive.

I am not looking for a nanny
September 20, 2022

I am not looking for a nanny. That is the responses I am getting!

I am looking for someone who will do housekeeping and some meal prep.

How can I get this corrected?

I think it's a poor business practice to not let it be known right from the get-go that users (people looking to hire a caregiver) will be required to pay some sort of fee in order to look at applications. I got my first potential caregiver application, and lo and behold, I had to fork over a payment to see her application!
It isn't that I mind paying for a service, and I understand that care.com has expenses, but I would have liked to have been made aware of this simple piece of information right from the start!

You offered a discount and initially reflected approx $60. Payment for 3 month membership and then when it goes through it pops back up at $77 for 3 months.
If you put a $77.00 charge on my credit card I will dispute the charge as its not what you offered.
