My prior membership appeared to be canceled. The new pricing is not as good, and incremental add-ons for more and more money make the site feel less credible.
Very few have replied
Most are not immunized against COVID, which is very important to me.
I'm regretting paying money.
I've had better luck with other sites

Felt a bit deceiving that I couldn't even *read* an application without upgrading (language implied upgrading was required to reply)... then I paid to upgrade and got an error page instead of a confirmation

Had an issue with signing up and couldn't for the life of me find a phone number to get a hold of someone to help. I was kicked out of my account after paying 155. The oddest experience thus far on a sitting site.

My application was premature - i do not have appointment yet. Will update/apply when i have appointment that requires transportation.
When I click on someone it keeps taking me to the same page, info regarding the care check. When I hit, "got it", nothing happens.

It has too many 'selling' marketing steps. Too annoying. And its too expensive.

They will bring up inaccurate information on you and refuse to fix it. They tried to tell me that I can't have an account to use their care services, NOT WORK FOR THEM, just to use their services because of something supposedly on my record. My record is completely clean and always has been. I have multiple security clearances of varying levels and have for years. I even tried to contact them to have them fix it and they absolutely refuse! They don't even care that they have and use inaccurate information. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SITE! Just imagine what else they're lying about if they don't even care about having accurate information.

Just advise of fees upfront. Don't surprise someone with it after several steps.

I have been trying to upgrade my account so I can find a caregiver but the site keeps giving me error messages when I try to make the purchase.

After figuring out the payment plans, I found the care.com website to be easy to negotiate.
I think that I may have found a Caregiver who can take my dogs out AND take care of me.
It would help if there weren't so many add-on charges and renewals that were automatic. I don't need a big commitment of time in here, just to find someone that will hopefully work.

So easy to use with so many qualified care givers!
So far it seems easy... lets see if I get anywhere with it since I have not had any luck hiring an in-home care giver for my father in law yet.
My timed offer promo code wasn't applied and I see no way to contact customer support to get my charge adjusted.

I'd rather you have ads than have to pay for this service, just to message someone.

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
