Trired 3 differet careworkers NOone called or did the job still have not get a call from the last one and tried to change the phone nomber on the profil can not do that...
The Care app cancels out contact info, can only chat,but can't call because phone numbers are blocked out. This defeats the purpose of paying Care.com to provide services. I paid for premium services that can not be utilized. Quite disappointed and pressed for time to have nothing work proper.
Thank you for your feedback and I am sorry for your frustration. To promote safe hiring, we encourage our members to communicate onsite as much as possible, and we keep contact information private in the initial messaging. When you're ready for a phone or video interview, ask the caregiver to resend their information, and it will be visible at that point. We'd also be happy to try to assist if you want to reach out to us through our Help Center contact us link at https://help.care.com/s/contactus or through Facebook Messenger. Please include Reference Number REV-022510 when you message.

Our sitter was loving and went above and beyond to make Jasmine happy and comfortable while we were away. She kept me informed and provided updates on her care that made our time away carefree.

Dogs accepted her into their pack immediately and I believe they can see things in people that other people can't. When I knew they trusted her I know I did too. Truly a good person.

This person is a good communicator. But unequal to the task. He made an effort until I left him alone. Upon which he left made some remark about needing to dump fluids. And exited never to return. I made an attempt to reach out but it appears I have been blocked.

It was easy to find care on Care com and set up a profile. My initial caregiver cancelled and I was instantly refunded and my request was resubmitted to find a replacement. Chatting function was easy and I was able to find care
The app and website are not hard to use but it seems glitchy when it comes time to review my care giver. I found it difficult to leave them a review and see a summary of the care given.

Brisa took good care of our dog and home. She followed our instructions and when we returned Sydney, our dog, was happy and healthy. The house was as we left it and she also washed her bedding and towels.

Have taken £45 for an unusable service - that's two tins of specialist formula for my baby that I'm now without. I signed up when I was sleep deprived with a new baby, hoping for some help. There was no one any good in my area. No reminder that it was going to auto renew, just the hopes that everyone forgets.
Considering most people are looking for help and are probably stressed and tired, they must make a fortune with their underhand practices. Of course, no one in customer service cares.
I'm now having to beg friends and family to lend me the money to pay for formula until my next maternity pay comes in because they've taken that money out.
Disgraceful.
Thank you so much for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear you were not able to find a caregiver. Have you tried posting a job? Many of our members find greater success when they post a job outlining their needs versus just individually reaching out to caregivers they find through searches. I'm also very sorry to hear that you were not aware that our memberships auto renew until cancelled. This information is included on every upgrade page, as well as our billing confirmation and Terms of Use. If you'd like to discuss further, please reach out to us through the contact us link at https://help.care.com/s/contactus or through Facebook messenger. If you are in the UK, please contact us via https://www.care.com/en-gb/contact-us. Please include Reference Number REV-022412 when you message.
The housekeepers had hourly rates on their profiles yet none are charging per hour. They all ask to view the flat even though my description of the flat is in the job description and in my messages to them. Some suggested that the first clean should be a deep clean even though the house is super clean and we've paid for a deep clean when we bought it a month ago.
Many housekeepers did not have any reviews so it was difficult to understand how good they are.
The website is quite clanky and not very user friendly and I don't want to download yet another app.
I'm sorry to hear that you didn't have a positive experience with the site. For assistance, please reach out via our Help Center contact us link at https://help.care.com/s/contactus or Facebook Messenger. Include Reference Number REV-022411 when you message. Deleting and reinstalling the latest version of the app may also be helpful.
Julie was absolutely terrific. It was our first time using her & the kids absolutely loved her. She's punctual, kind & patient. Looking forward to the next time.
Thanks so much for the great review! I’m happy to hear you are enjoying your experience with the app!
My dogs were well cared for and I was kept informed daily about how they were getting along. From start to finish, it was an exceptional experience.
Thanks so much for the great review! I’m happy to hear you are enjoying your experience with the app!
Jaime did a wonderful job. She met with our kitties before we left. She kept us up to date on how the kitties were doing when we were gone. She is an outstanding care giver.

I forgot about Care.com as a choice for senior care. Thankfully, I found some great candidates in our first week.
That’s so great to hear you had a good experience with the site! Thanks for sharing!

Shanna fed me my cat and scooped the litter box unasked. She also brought in the mail.

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: 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: 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: 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
