Feel like the pricing is counter to the mission of the product. Too many limitations and add ons and nickle and diming to get value -- should be all-inclusive (at the min including security screening of people) to give a solid experience.). Catherine
Good so far. Hoping to find just the right person.
Was not expecting to spend more than $30 just to use this service for one month. Pretty ridiculous.

Just signed on for the premium plan. Have not had a chance to find a housekeeper.
Care services are helpful for the most part, but navigating the website/webpages are difficult. It is not user friendly or intuitive. This has been the most frustrating experience so far. It would also be helpful if there were a way to organize your messages. Applicants, favorites, etc. Again, the way the website is set up has a number of limitations.

Needs to be more user friendly for Care takers search
I don't feel like I should have to pay a membership fee to book a babysitter and that wasn't made clear that there was a fee until I wanted to send a message to the sitter.

Horrible experience. Total catfish to begin with, they display all these people who either dont respond (after they make you pay 50 to sign up) or, these people already have jobs. Do not give them your hard earned money like I did. Total scam!

Logging in was a major hassle. First typed in my email. Got a message that someone else had the same email. Which I confirmed it was me.
Then I typed in my password and got a message that the password was wrong. When I got the email to change it the site came up white a completely blank screen.
I was, and still am, majorly frustrated by this.

Number of caregivers looks good, but I don't know how reliable it is since I'm just staring.

Hi Catherine!
Thank you for providing your feedback on the site. If you have any questions or need assistance, please message me. We do provide Care Checks on every caregiver listed on our site. Because our membership eligibility standards for caregivers may differ from your own standards for hiring, we recommend you always run your own background check as part of the hiring process.
