I paid for the year up front, I've had nothing but issues. The app is never working 100% There really wasn't great options on there. I reached out to support for several issues, none were ever resolved. When they respond to a support email they reply from a "no reply " email so that you can't talk back and forth. They just send you a link to their help page. They refused to prorate and refund part of my payment when I asked. I could not use the app efficiently. They told me it would be best for me to keep care.com to meet my nanny needs (which I no longer need no thanks to care) Of course, I can't respond to the emails so I've submitted a new ticket for every response I wanted to send. Nothing will be done. Crappy company and customer service.

I have found your site well designed (obviously by a professional web designer). It is extremely easy to understand, use and seems to cover all areas I would expect to have need of, One, other thing, do you have someone who can help me do my home paperwork filing caught up until it's finished? Not overwhelming but extensive. Same person@ same price to me would be perfect if possible. Thank you.

Frustrating because there was no way to talk with someone by telephone. Especially when I needed to talk with someone about paying for this service. Because I coudn't talk to someone to answer my questions, I could have missed out on something because I decided to just skip it. I didn't want to click anything because it wasn't clear to me I would be charged for something I might have not wanted.

Too many up front questions and too many add ons. Why do I need to ask for a background check of a potential tutor... YOU should be doing that to protect your brand.

People should not have to pay just to send a care provider a message.

** Seniors and Consumers Beware **
This organization has the least regard for privacy and protection of seniors. It requires senseless information from you so that they can resell publisher or disseminate for money your personal information when all you wanted to do was to get price quotes for services for seniors from company's you may not even choose or want to do business with! Multiple back-and-forth with this company shows a complete disregard for privacy rights security and protection of seniors today which is a critical problem. I would not use this organization I would run from any attempt to sign up for this organization they diss value seniors they do not protect or secure your information and are only doing this for profit run from this organization.

UI is clunky and difficult to navigate. 100s of care takers in the area, but few appear to be currently active.
