Website repeatedly would not let me search outside of the zip code in my profile.
Not recommending this site to anyone again. However, im in a jam and will use it this time, but never again.
I can never find someone, the price is too high, and your promo codes are never redeemed like it is supposed to be. I can't change my address to find better recommendations.

I didn't realize I have to "upgrade" to even see the applicants email... would have appreciated the full disclosure before setting up the account. But, nevertheless, it is a helpful site... I hope.
I'm getting an error every time I try to upgrade. I contacted you via email and never heard back. It's now turned into a 505 error. I need to contact sitters.

ON THE PAGE WHERE I SELECTED THE PLAN, IT SAID "FULLY REFUNDABLE." ON THE PAGE WHERE I WAS CHARGED IT SAID THE PAYMENT WAS NON REFUNDABLE. I WAS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THE CHANGE IN POLICY.
I know you are a paid service... and i don't mind paying for it. Until none of your people accept my request for service... I paid for a month in order to get care for 2 days. And everyone I contacted turned me down... THERE IS NO 'SERVICE PROVIDED' by ur company and I want my monthly fee refunded becus your company did NOT provide the services rendered as stated *providing a care provider"
So just refund my monthly fee since you did not fulfil your part of the agreement
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 tried messaging Carecomm, a couple of times, but I didn't get any answers. I wish someone would reply, so I can move on with my membership.
Thanks
Very pleased with the quality and number of qualified caregivers.
Thanks so much for the great review! I’m happy to hear you are finding success with the site!
Issues with website - freezing or pages not flowing properly; difficult to go back
In attempting to sign up for membership I experienced a technical error. After clicking 'Return to previous page' it instead took me back to the home dashboard.

Just starting out with Care.com. I would be happy to rate after some time on the site.
I came back on your site after my subscription expired. I have not yet renewed my subscription and I have a number of applicants sending me messages for a job that I closed months ago. Did my job get reposted reactivated somehow? It's confusing.
I selected "just browsing" when I first came to care.com but it still made me fill out everything and automatically created a job posting for me. Also, what a shady business- no transparency from the beginning that you'll have to upgrade to message providers. I have signed up for 1 month of the service and then will cancel asap - don't want anything to do with your business.

I tried to pay for premium and got an error page that told me "Don't Cry." Not helpful.

When signing up for a premium membership, I used the code BEST10 for a 10% discount. In my email I had a number of promotional codes for 20% off so I was trying them out to see if they worked. On the third attempt, when I hit enter instead of giving me an error, it instead checked me out with no promo code (including the 10% off).

I am hoping to find help for my Mother, we'll see!
Thanks so much for the great review! I wish you luck in your caregiver search!
It is impossible to email customer service. Our photo was flagged clearly by a bot and doesn't violate policies. There is no way to filter for covid vaccine status. Please have someone from customer service contact us.

Not enough upfront. To much opportunistic selling that takes extra time and energy I don't have because I should be looking for help.
I reached out to this member and did not receive a response. Please visit our Help Center link at https://help.care.com/ for additional help.
Very difficult to negative & not clearly understanding

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
