I am not able to get a question answered even by using your help center. My account continues to read my zipcode incorrectly for searching and I am receiving applications by email but cannot open the application or profile

I did not realize this was a hire yourself, manage yourself arrangement because it wasn't clear in any of the information found on the site - not until I started reviewing candidates, and that is not a good experience for the person in need of services nor those who apply for the job!

It seems to hop between an older coded version and the newer coded version depending on which portion of the page you're in. Some of the flows seem strange and the layout is difficult to navigate.

Care.com is the most horrible service. Most of the profiles on their site are bogus or fake. Although the care taker will show availability but when you go for actual booking, either there will be no response or there will be not availability response. If they are not available then why are the profiles reflecting "available". They scam you into purchasing a membership and then they don't care. Once you have signed up, you cannot get a refund. This app is totally bogus and fake. When you ask for refund they will tell you the non refund policy which was never disclosed to me when I signed up

Easy to use, lots of upsells though
January 14, 2022

Easy to use, lots of upsells though - makes me anxious, do I need them? Will I get another chance? Now I'm disclosing our covid vaccination status in the job description - is that private? Some things I'm not sure of

No clear directions on how to post a job. Have tried twice and both rejected.
No problem with taking payment though. Aargh.

There is no button to complete a booking, and I tried in two different browsers. This is referring specifically to cleaners that have dates available, and I was able to click on the available date, but there was no option to advance from there. This influenced me to purchase a premium membership that I do not know if I want, is non-refundable, and it didn't solve the issue.

I was taken aback by the fact that you lead a user into the process only to charge them right when the exchange of information begins. W/out performing background checks, the site is useless. Its a pitiful money grab. I won't use this site and will encourage others in my position to igore it. Shame on you.

You guys charge for everything
February 12, 2022

You guys charge for everything. To post a job and send message i need to subscribe and pay for that, then you ask for money for background check and then again money to prioritize the post.

Few days ago I couldn't submit payment (there was no problem with my credit card), there was just a bug in the website that didn't allow me to check out.

Today I couldn't open the account either, there were so many tech issues to be able to do something simple.
