You shouldn't have to pay to just see the messages. To reply, I understand, but to get an idea if this site will even work for you, should not cost $$

I searched for a number of caregiver sites in my area. This site seemed promising as it appears to have lot of caregiver. I signed up and paid for 3 mths. I reached out to a number of the caregivers... not one response. All of them were fake ads. I had one responses, but their schedule was completely different from my ad, so it was a fake response. Most of the caregiver are from other states and they just copy those profiles over... they are fake... pls don't get ripped off... I was not able to get my money back... worst experience of my life...

Scam
February 11, 2022

I was a mother looking for a nanny. I posted my ad and had to pay $30 to communicate to potential nannies. Care runs its own backgrounds check, EVEN against parents, which i didnt realize. So AFTER they get my money and let me use the site for 3 weeks, i get an email telling me my account has been suspended because of a level one NON VIOLENT misdemeanor on my record thats 4 years old. So i guess i dont deserve childcare lol dont drink and drive kids!

Pricing is high for membership, looking into other platforms with more affordable pricing and reaching out through friends and family for referrals.

Your site says ~$25 quaterly; then you billed me ~$75. Your website should directly say $75 if you bill that much. Also, phone numbers of providers would help a lot for those who don't type. Thank you.

My experience have not been that good and I upgraded to premium so that I could find a sitter starting 01/24/22 and still nothing. Care.com is my last hope to find a babysitter and I am not getting applications nor any messages saying they're interested in the job.
If you require parents/guardians to pay for an upgrade then they should be able to get a guarantee for a sitter or whatever they are looking for, otherwise care.com should not charge for membership.

It keeps defaulting to a different zip code. Otherwise, it's been a fairly good experience thus far.

Membership packages are to high, when people are in a vulnerable position to find child or senior care. I feel taken advantage of.
