I had no idea using Care.Com could make life easier! We were able to find childcare fast and easy on two separate occasions. Both caregivers we professional, friendly, pleasant to have in my home and GREAT with the kids. Loved the whole experience.
Just cancel 6 hours before we go on vacation! She should let us know way before!

I don't know how to shut it off! Once I hired! A dog sitter? Please let me know, so I don't waste any one time!
After using agencies we decided to try direct hire for mom's care. Started looking Saturday and by Sunday I'd interviewed 2 and chosen our carer. She started Monday morning.
We are thrilled that you had success using our site! Thank you so much for letting us know!
Deanna is wonderful. She really pays attention to our pets' needs and provides daily updates. I am relieved to know she is taking care of our pets, when we can't.
We love hearing this! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you,

Deanna was very conscientious and so great about spending time with our pets. We knew they were happy, healthy and getting the attention they love.
Ceesay was a big help and she solved my problem of being picked up and transported after surgery.
Thanks so much for the great review! I'm happy to hear you are finding success with the site!

Website kept freezing, had to constantly restart the app, unable to set up different rates for different nannies, unable to change the rate once set - difficult to navigate payments or change nanny schedule.

Maddy jumped right in with our 15 month old and he didn't even cry when we left. She was a last minute date night booking while we were visiting the area and she was a good communicator and super friendly. Highly recommended!

Found a cat sitter I was hiring. Texted back and forth on computer, Went fine. Asked her to call at number I gave. She said that she would after she put her child to bed. Never called me. I texted her back about five times from that nigh until the next day. She did not respond by phone or text. Had to hire some else through a social worker

Was able to post a job and get many qualified applicants to interview

My caregiver has enabled me to do more than I ever thought I could. She understands that I need to be as independent as possible but steps in when I need her.

Answer: Hello, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and they are currently investigating Care.com. This is important enough to me that they have scammed me out of 6 months of payments and I had to close my credit card for Fraud. If you have had a bad experience with Care.com, I would encourage you to file a complaint with BBB. If enough people complain, then they will take more serious action. Here is the website. It is a short process to submit a complaint. https://www.bbb.org/consumer-complaints/file-a-complaint/get-started
Answer: Steer clear from Care.com or what we prefer to call Care-aless. Com! They are only about profit for them. The site is for trollers that prey on innocent families. You'd be better off putting an ad in your local newspaper. Most local newspapers also have online readership too!
Answer: I am determined to shut this site down. I am contacting news programs, The Today Show, Good Morning America and any and all others. Shut them down!
Answer: I would be cautious. I hope she is not moving for the job, as that is NOT a good idea. I get text messages daily from people asking me to email them (often for a friend), or someone coming from out of town or whatever. I delete these right away. First of all, they should go through the regular website and email you. No one would hire anyone without first meeting them, checking references, etc. I am sitting at the home of someone I took with through the Care site. I first communicated via email, then set up a face to face and met the kids. If it seems too good to be true, it is. USE COMMON SENSE! Seriously, if you don't have common sense you really shouldn't be taking care of kids, pets or anyone else!
Answer: This is so sad! I have been on both sides as I have an assisted living home in Pensacola Florida. I used care.com to staff my home; awful. Then when I had myself on as a provider they suspended me for a 14 year old non viloent misdemeanor, and they did not even have my permission to check past 7. They want you to get crappy providers, the good ones are kicked off because once ya get a good one, you no longer need them. Cash cow corrupt company who makes rules up as they go along, I heard 20/20 is doing a special. I plan to contact them, as I am verifiably the best care coordinator hands down, extremely good with direct care. You will only ever be returned 1 month contact the Federal Trade Commission file a complaint that's what I did, the more problems the better the case against care, com
Answer: Your guess is as good as mine. Maybe they have a big money backer and can screw people of their money and lack of customer service? They should be called, I don't care.com
Answer: If I were you I'd choose another site. Care.com is terrible.
Answer: Some of the clients are looking for cheap labor through the internet for housekeeping. I usually tell the person to call me back for interview finish. Then I would tell them that I am self-employed and they would need to file a 1099 for taxes to IRS.
Answer: Care.com is set up for parents that pay for the service... Parents can enroll for free and place and add. However, If they do not forward their credit card any messages from caregivers will have a blocked phone number. The babysitter cam also enroll for free and make a profile for her services. However if she does nor forward her credit card she can only apply to 8 jobs every 28 days and only the ads from parents that have paid for an account will be able to contact her. DO NOT respond to anyone contacting you on your phone that did not contact through Care.com first... This is always a scam... The message will look like this: I am moving to your area soon and need car for my son/daughter. Kindly respond to my email.(They are looking to scam you for money.)
Answer: Sitter city.com could help you. I have honestly had nothing but problems with care.com. They make up rules as they decide not how things are written and do not follow their own privacy policy. They feed on single moms and dads. As well as children providing for aging parents You can place an add on Craigslist as well, for free and your prospective employee provides their own background check as it can be a most recent one and obtained by themselves at 5 to 10 dollars
We love hearing this! Thanks so much for sharing!
