Useless website
March 23, 2022

This is a faceless organization. There is no customer service. There are many restrictions for communication making it impossible to post a detailed job description, which leads to endless messaging with caregivers to provide the same information. It's not possible to post an application. It is not possible to provide contact information. Communication is limited to proprietary tools with numerous bugs, preventing messaging. The website is not disability friendly as it precludes use of voice recognition technology in certain areas. It also discriminates against people based on age. Caregivers are not able to search for individuals who are not children or seniors. This is surprisingly out of date thinking in a world that has become more diverse, inclusive, and equitable. I would encourage you to opt out of using care.com until they are able to make accessible, usable tools for everyone. This is not an optional, but legal requirement for them as a business in the United States, and hopefully we will gain sufficient momentum to get them to change their practices.

Super buggy...
March 23, 2022

Super buggy... payment was really hard, adding picture was not easy. And when I paid to upgrade, it kept asking me to upgrade to chat with caregivers.

It is difficult to take in quickly
February 21, 2022

It is difficult to take in quickly. Have some questions that I cannot find answers to. The basic membership is high and then you get other screens pop up as you investigate further. I did sign up for a premium membership without the extras on an annual basis. Who do I contact at care in my area to answer my questions?

The customer service is non-existent. They will not help you and will make your life a living hell if you actually need assistance.

Website and app don't work
March 22, 2022

Website and app don't work - can see message but can't send reply (keep getting error, try again later). This happened last weekend and again today, and stops me from communicating for days. I try to change my profile and it doesn't do anything. Overall, site isn't functional.

I did not know I would be charged a fee to use this service. The background check should be included in the basic fee.

It's expensive to find the person you're looking for. It shouldn't cost 40 dollars to find a house cleaner.

My job posting keeps getting rejected, and it appears to follow the guidelines. I've used the same information that auto populated and it was still rejected.
