I DID NOT WANT TO BE A PREMIUM MEMBER. THIS WAS A MISTAKE THAT I WAS MADE ONE. I SPENT MONEY THAT I WAS NOT INTENDING TO SPEND. I WAS TRICKED INTO SIGNING UP FOR THIS. CARE. COM CONNED ME INTO THIS EXPENSE AND SHOULD REEFUND MY MONEY IMMEDIATELY. I ONLY WANTED TO PAY FOR THE FIRST QUARTER(3 MONTHS). IF THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE, i WOULD HAVE PAID FOR A MONTH, BUT CERTAINLY NOT FOR A FULL YEAR! YOUR WEB SITE IS A CON JOB.

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.

Care.com is a scam
May 6, 2022

I signed up for a three-month membership after filling out a profile and completing all of the necessary steps for membership. Care.com terminated my account without explanation immediately after processing my payment. I'll dispute the charge with my bank and get a refund, but the website is a waste of time and a scam. Buyer beware.

I really like it, but it was misleading in that it appeared you could do more with a free membership when in reality, there is not much it does until you pay

The site experienced errors twice in my first usage and said try again later... that's pretty close to unacceptable performance.

The website was not mobile enabled when opening the password reset, nor generally. The site runs very slow.

Basic membership very misleading. Company needs to be more transparent. Take $s and then realize you have to upgrade in order to communicate with applicants.
