The sort and filter options for sifting through childcare providers are pretty limited

I do not like how scrolling down on the profile creates a large heading that takes up half the page. I also do not like the upselline.

This is a useless website unless you pay. You should have more transparent advertising stating that there is no point in having a "free" membership

Just joined
February 7, 2022

Just joined. Can't send emails to potential babysitters. Tried to start a chat to get help. After 7 minutes, i'm still being 'transferred' on chat. Not sure what i'm paying for nor if this will be a wasted time-sink.

Too many add-ons. Initially asked for full-time live-in and got two part-time and only one full-time!

Deceptive practices
February 6, 2022

I signed up for care.com to find a nanny and thought I was making a one time payment for one month use and was unsuccessful in finding a nanny through them and found one on my own so never returned to the account. A few months later, I logged in to help my sister find a caregiver and to my surprise I had been getting charged for 6 months because they automatically were deducting money from my account. They cheat you into thinking you are making a one time payment but that option does not exist. The customer service is abysmal, there is not phone number and the only way to contact anyone is through chat or email. I had to contact billing and demand a supervisor call me back but no one did, I got an email from brenda who sent a generic email saying they will not refund me. I informed them I wanted to write a formal complaint and no one helped me with that either. They use very deceptive practices, do not use this service, they will some how cheat you out of your money in your most vulnerable time.

The job I am posting does not fit neatly into one of your categories. I am apprehensive feeling like I accurately describe the job, but since it's a little bit of housework, a little caregiving yet no elderly people are involved, and a little bit of nannying, it might not be seen since candidates are looking for one category or the other.

When attempting to access the site on Chrome, it would read an error message. Then I was able to access via explorer, but it kicked me off. Not a fun experience.

Stop trying to upsell me and redirecting me from actually using your site. It is a pop up nightmare navigating this site on mobile.
