Too many issues:
Try to access previous accounts however every time a reset password link was sent to the email kept receiving error messages. After create a new account applied for monthly plan and background check, and got charged for both but the system only read me for the monthly plan and not the background check.

Very difficult to upgrade
February 17, 2022

Very difficult to upgrade. All sorts of error messages. No reasonable contact information (no customer service phone #). Email for help and the response was not especially satisfactory.

Its very shady of you to take away my messages after I cancel my subscription. I paid for it, and I still have nearly a month left thats already paid for, but yet your revoking my membership now, just because I Cancelled. Probably not even legal, but shady a best. Not great for a company built on trust.

Website would not allow me to proceed with purchase. Had to go into private browsing as it did not work in the app either.

Scammers
February 16, 2022

Scammers. I signed up to Care.com for a one year subscription and cancelled a month after as I no longer needed the service. I did not receive an email confirmation, as the cancellation was confirmed through their website. They charged me a huge fee again the following year, and refuse to refund. They say they have no evidence subscription was cancelled. They do not send any sort of email or reminder before they deduct the fee again. When asked about this they do not respond. Additionally, they have now cancelled my subscription, but the fee was for a full year, which I have paid for but can no longer use. This company has no sense of ethical responsibility.

Feels somewhat dishonest or lower quality due to all the paid add-ons as you try to check-out.

Not very good
January 16, 2022

Not very good. Quite confusing frankly. I'm trying to reset a password (if I had one in the first place) and you're not sending me the link. I have given you the $ for the three month upgrade but we haven't sent me any sort of email acknowledgment of that.

Nice website

Nice website. Caregivers seem to cover many different areas. Most of what I had found from searching specialized in elder care/dementia, etc.

I don't like all the "add-ons"
February 15, 2022

I don't like all the "add-ons". A local respite group suggested the site, and I do not mind paying for services, but this was really closer to bait-and-switch that straightforward service. Like a site that hooks you on the services then tries to get you to buy product, as this is their true goal. You would be fare more credible if you put ALL the options and costs up front before people go through all the steps to develop their job description, etc.

Site was slow and when I tried to upgrade something happened. Now I don't know if the fee was charged to my account or not. I'd have to wait to find out post my job.
