So far, frustrated that all the costs in the signup process are hidden until after you decide to sign up for premium. I'm still not sure what I'm getting for premium, and was hit with having to decide on a bunch of extras on the spot with barely any information.

Good so far but it's annoying that every time I look at someone specifically, my search goes back to the top instead of going back to that person in the list.

I've paid to use this app for immediate use and now it says approval pending before it will post my ad. This should have been mentioned during sign.
Makes your company looks likes a fraud.

I want to be able to expand their bio without navigating to a new page. I didn't like clicking through all the add ons when I signed up. I do like how easy it is to search and filter.

The site so far has been wary to use. I have a big issue with a recurring fee being automatically taken unless I unsubscribe. 3 more months is triple what the original subscription is. This is poor customer service.

I don't want to pay your cost. I can find someone without using your website.

This is my 1st time using this site. So far no one has responded to my inquire. This service should be free and you pay when you use the service.

So far, awkward user interface that disrupts my searches. Will continue to learn and hopefully mitigate concerns.

Dont like that the process & memberships are not outlined or explained prior to making a commitment - still feel unprepared for how this site works even after upgrading.

I've been using care.com for over 6 years now and until these past couple years really loved my experience on the site. However, I can fully say now that I do not recommend this site to ANYONE. I began having login issues last summer, and I ran into so many problems trying to contact customer service to get help. Unfortunately, you are only able to chat care.com if you are logged in, which I obviously couldn't do. I scoured the internet and found various care.com service emails, but when I tried to reach out, I wouldn't get a response. In the meantime, I was missing out on months of nanny income.
Finally, I was at my wit's end and decided to go to LinkedIn to try to get help-- I commented on several high-up workers from care.com, and only then did I get help.
However, even with all the help, I've continued to run into numerous problems. I could go into far greater detail of all the ways care.com has been unreliable and a poor site, but I will spare you the details. My recommendation is to find nannies or nanny jobs some different way. Do not recommend.

The extras after i signed up seemed like a money grab. That all should be included or discussed before any payment is made.

The contact us button does nothing, the upgrade button does not work, it took me 2 day to figure how to upgrade, had to use a cellphone. I hope the rest of the service works

This platform is trying to nickel and dime folks. Do better. These providers aren't cheap, so the charge just to connect should be reasonable.
