I tried to upgrade. Kept sending error messages. You offer no trial anything - a month to see if this works. Oh well
I was banned from Care.com from my search engine Google and Safari servers. I could not login for a LONG TIME until I went to my old email account. This is very odd.

I enjoy the helpful tips but being new to posting I would have liked some helpful pop up steps for the first time about the features.
Not being able to reach out- system error - and not finding anyone yet

I just paid for 12 months, I log into the app, now it's telling me I have to upgrade!

I appreciate the questions that help me determine my need and the actual sample job posting. It really made this easy!
Problems with payment pages. Also saying the price is $12 per month makes it seem like there is a monthly payment option, which there is not for an annual subscription. Feels like trickery.,

Why do I have to log in twice to send a message to a provider when I never leave the site.
The site would not accept my 1st credit card. The site is NOT free and requires sign up to premium services which are very expensive. However, the site does give options on the caregivers and is easy to use in that respect.

I like it but I can't imagine why anyone would sign up for a monthly subscription and keep it after finding someone
Great, very easy to use with good options for placement of ad
Extra fees are irritating and make me second guess using this service.

I just booked and there was a 20% off savings coupon that now I either have to eat or go fight for. Plus I am probably not going to be notified at the end of my term and am going to be jacked on pricing and have to fight for that too.

I don't mind paying 40 bucks to try this for a month, however not being able to cancel my subscription so you don't bill me another month without also losing the features I paid 40 bucks to use is a $#*!ty business model. You are being preditory hoping people forget to cancel. If your content is that weak you need to turn to those practices to get paid then I do not have high hopes for the usefulness of this site.

Finding the site challenging to use. Not as simple as could be. Lacks opportunity to connect with site or contact us so to receive clarification. Such as If I were to increase from monthly to multiple months would I be able to send more messages?
Should the site provides me in obtaining my care giver needs it will prove to be effective. As of first day, disappointed due to inability to pose questions let alone have these addressed.

There is no place to tell what kind of help you need. I have questions that I can't answer.

My post didn't go through at first because it said it had an invalid character. But it didn't tell what was invalid. Turned out to be the hours I was looking for 7:30pm-8:30pm that it didn't like.

Only being able to send 5 messages in 24 hours is ridiculous for the amount I am paying to find a nanny.

I have been attempting to upgrade and continue to receive an error. It is quite frustrating

Answer: Hello, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and they are currently investigating Care.com. This is important enough to me that they have scammed me out of 6 months of payments and I had to close my credit card for Fraud. If you have had a bad experience with Care.com, I would encourage you to file a complaint with BBB. If enough people complain, then they will take more serious action. Here is the website. It is a short process to submit a complaint. https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started
Answer: Steer clear from Care.com or what we prefer to call Care-aless. Com! They are only about profit for them. The site is for trollers that prey on innocent families. You'd be better off putting an ad in your local newspaper. Most local newspapers also have online readership too!
Answer: I am determined to shut this site down. I am contacting news programs, The Today Show, Good Morning America and any and all others. Shut them down!
Answer: This is so sad! I have been on both sides as I have an assisted living home in Pensacola Florida. I used care.com to staff my home; awful. Then when I had myself on as a provider they suspended me for a 14 year old non viloent misdemeanor, and they did not even have my permission to check past 7. They want you to get crappy providers, the good ones are kicked off because once ya get a good one, you no longer need them. Cash cow corrupt company who makes rules up as they go along, I heard 20/20 is doing a special. I plan to contact them, as I am verifiably the best care coordinator hands down, extremely good with direct care. You will only ever be returned 1 month contact the Federal Trade Commission file a complaint that's what I did, the more problems the better the case against care, com
Answer: I would be cautious. I hope she is not moving for the job, as that is NOT a good idea. I get text messages daily from people asking me to email them (often for a friend), or someone coming from out of town or whatever. I delete these right away. First of all, they should go through the regular website and email you. No one would hire anyone without first meeting them, checking references, etc. I am sitting at the home of someone I took with through the Care site. I first communicated via email, then set up a face to face and met the kids. If it seems too good to be true, it is. USE COMMON SENSE! Seriously, if you don't have common sense you really shouldn't be taking care of kids, pets or anyone else!
Answer: Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they have a big money backer and can screw people of their money and lack of customer service? They should be called, I don't care.com
Answer: If I were you I'd choose another site. Care.com is terrible.
Answer: Some of the clients are looking for cheap labor through the internet for housekeeping. I usually tell the person to call me back for interview finish. Then I would tell them that I am self-employed and they would need to file a 1099 for taxes to IRS.
Answer: Care.com is set up for parents that pay for the service... Parents can enroll for free and place and add. However, If they do not forward their credit card any messages from caregivers will have a blocked phone number. The babysitter cam also enroll for free and make a profile for her services. However if she does nor forward her credit card she can only apply to 8 jobs every 28 days and only the ads from parents that have paid for an account will be able to contact her. DO NOT respond to anyone contacting you on your phone that did not contact through Care.com first... This is always a scam... The message will look like this: I am moving to your area soon and need car for my son/daughter. Kindly respond to my email.(They are looking to scam you for money.)
Answer: Sitter city.com could help you. I have honestly had nothing but problems with care.com. They make up rules as they decide not how things are written and do not follow their own privacy policy. They feed on single moms and dads. As well as children providing for aging parents You can place an add on Craigslist as well, for free and your prospective employee provides their own background check as it can be a most recent one and obtained by themselves at 5 to 10 dollars
