Can't really say anything since I just posted other than the site is pretty easy to use.
No feelings one way or the other. Seems straightforward at this point.

Your site is not easily navigated, at least on mobile. It seems impossible to contact your business which is very inconvenient. Am not sure if I've sent msg to provider correctly nor how they will contact me.

It took me five tries to sign up for premium with a number of error messages, very frustrating, and then I feel like you are hustling me with all of the add ons you try to tack on at the end.

When trying to purchase an upgrade my cards were continually denied. I was told I had to use my Iphone or google chrome on a desk top. This was very inconvenient because I was trying to using my tablet.

I have been trying to get a home health aide who does housekeeping but every time I pick a person it just brings me to the point where I have to choose the pricing but nothing ever gets me the woman. Help! I'm not so up on phones and computers that I actually know what I'm doing! No telephone to call that I'm aware of.

You are trying to force me into a service I do not want - I am not trying to hire employees - just trying to find a cleaner - this platform sucks - can't get any useful help or contact you.

The checkout was a little confusing, when trying to get past the upgrade, but it was fine once I realized I could skip past it. Look forward to using Care.com

The website is a bit cluttered and not as easy to navigate. For someone who may not be as tech savy, the site should be more intuitive.

So far so good but all done is preparing and paying for a post.

The site is really buggy for such a well known brand. At first it wouldn't allow me to edit my original job post and kept giving me an error. And now it continues to say my profile isn't verified when I am positive I am entering the correct information.

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
