Your pricing is deceiving. I was understanding that I would be charged $12.95 per month and you just took a whole $155.40 out of my account. Then charge even more for silly stuff like featuring your ad and seeing if messages have been read. I get you are trying to make money but that is absurd to treat people that way knowing you have probably millions or at the very least thousands of people using this site. Some of us are really struggling right now but you just take like its ok or something. That is really horrible to treat customers that way.

Hard to put the credit card info on my Kindle. I had to use the reg PC to do as the Kindle had the credit card in auto fill but did not do it right.
I'm not sure if you are having unusual glitches or its common. But I had another account. It kept asking me to upgrade, and I kept trying to enter my credit card, and it kept getting rejected. I tried three cards. All rejected for wrong numbers, which weren't. Then, the system closed me out for suspicious behavior. I tried to contact you,. Your website requires you to be logged in or use email. Both were impossible since I couldn't log in, and I couldn't fine an email address. So, I reregistered with my other email address. This time, you charged my credit card. Sincerely, David Duckworth

In Search at this time trying to find a good sitter so not sure how it will turn out
You pay for a service to post your abilities and search for positions. You respond to post from ppl looking for help but, they cannot respond to YOUR PAID FOR MESSAGE, unless they pay as well? What kind of scam is this? Save you $. This site is a rip off. I've been paying for this service for over 3 years & was NEVER TOLD that I was paying for nothing. Sad that they steal money from the ones looking for work.

Promo code expired within hours, before I could use it - the very same day I signed up. No person to speak with by phone. Not impressed so far.

Filtering needs more ability to find nannies vs. babysitters. Many have one hourly cost listed, then when you message they are asking for a great deal more.

It's much more expensive than I expected. I was under the impression the initial cost included background checks.

Messaging on the phone is a little choppy and going back and forth between messaging candidates and your search is not ideal as it goes all the way to the top of the page and not where you left off.
Need someone soon Gentlemen if possible please advise asap *******311
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
