I tried to upgrade
March 5, 2022

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.

Problems with payment pages
March 5, 2022

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.,

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

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.
