Excellent resource, but I upgraded and it is not allowing me access still asking me to upgrade again.
It will not allow me to save my age and address and im paying for premium and trying to hire someone
The user interface is not very intuitive and it constantly refreshes the screen to the default home page. Please pay more attention to the user experience.

Ease of moving around to search/review selections.
It is really difficult to find out and locate how to cancel the monthly subscription billing process. There is very little information on the web site as to how to proceed to do this so that my credit card is not automatically billed each month.

It took six attempts simply to get the site to accept payment. I don't always fill in my payment details correctly first time, but multiple attempts failed with "Java. Lang" error messages appearing on the form which is a terrible user experience and pretty frustrating when I just want to message people.

There are no actual Nannie's available on this app. What a huge waste of money. I hate myself for buying a year of this hogwash.
Maximum messages? This is BS. I paid for premium service and now I'm being limited on messages. I need a sitter ASAP. You are screwing everything up now

Prices are not in line with level of professionalism expected- post first pay to communicate is a rather unsavory format

Care.com is taking advantage of small businesses during a pandemic. They contacted our small family owned preschool and told us for 200$ a year they'd send us leads for hiring staff. They failed to inform us they'd charge us for each lead whether we accessed them or not. They've wound up charging us 880$ in the last 2 months. The management is deceitful, fraudulent, and has lied about contacting me and my staff. They are very unethical and if you look at their reviews on BBB.com, they have over 450 reviews and are rated at 1.3 stars. Stay away from this evil business

It was frustrating to find out ONLY AFTERI had created the whole profile and started reviewing candidates and making a list that there was a charge for the services. I did not understand that my posting wasn't actually posted until I started paying. I don't mind paying for the service but the site is very misleading

I tried signing up to offer my services as a qualified teacher at a discounted rate but I kept getting rejected because my last name is too short. Many Asian names have 2 letters and the fact that a company doesn't even allow one to sign up due to this is straight up racist.
I wrote to them to explain that my last name is indeed 2 letters long. It took them a week to even get a response when they say itll take 24 hours. They then requested that I prove my identity but they don't ask this if your last name is longer than 2 letters?
Really shocking policies. Will not be joining as a result of their lack of cultural competence in 2022.

I have been with Care.com for years and have always found your website to be difficult to find the information I need. It is not intuitive, but frustrating, and wastes precious time.

Somehow it automatically added the premium option even though I chose no thanks; also I was hoping I could speak with a representative about my specific needs so I could chose the best options
Paying for subscription was confusing as there were add ons that I thought were included...
Only 4 people were recommended in my area and I was not offered a full discount despite not even having been a member more than a few hours. Unfortunately, it does not appear this site will best suit my needs based on the area I am in, and I feel strongly the company should offer a full refund to those who come to find out that there is such limited availability in the area.
