Once I contacted Care.com, they had tutors for me to review within minutes. It was very easy to choose one with the information that was offered. The tutor has been to our house once & my grandson loves her. He feels very comfortable with her. The prices are reasonable, which was a plus.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this review! We're so happy to hear you've had a good experience with the site!
Great resource for finding babysitters, we were able to find a last minute sitter for date night.
We're so happy to hear this and are so glad you've had a good experience! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you,

I do not need a sitter. Please change to Senior Care. Did you change my name? Location? I have to get a new password.

You have to purchase a membership before you're allowed to review cleaning people who match your ad, very disappointed and very misleading

I had a number of candidates, but only a few that met my criteria. And then one person applied, I accepted, we made arrangements to meet to discuss the position, and she never showed. I reached out to her via text and call and she didn't respond at all. So I left a review stating such. Then she got mad that I did that, and she blocked my account. I don't need that kind of negativity when I'm trying to hire someone. Another person accepted the position but didn't want to take any advice as to how to do anything. I offered her to work with the existing person for a couple of hours to get a feel for the place and she refused, which was on a friday, so she said I'll see you on Monday. Meaning she wasn't going to work Saturday that she agreed to, and she was not hired from monday. These are the type of people I got.

I like the app was easy to navigate and schedule a sitter. I thought it was cool that they sent the message to the sitters they felt would work within my schedule and needs.

The babysitter I found was kind and patient with my kids. She quit because she couldn't get pay day of and that was something that was never brought up before here
Thank you for the 5 stars! I'll be sure to share your feedback with our product team.
Not good. Only 1 person applied and she is not close to me. I will give a few more days and I will look somewhere else

I still am uncertain if I have a tutor or Not?! I do Not understand your process? It's very confusing! I have already spent $150.00 to get a list of tutors?!? I am Not tech savvy & would ask for a refund if I knew how or whom to contact?!Unsatisfied!

Bought a premium subscription after having success as a guest. Would not allow me to communicate with candidates/applicants after they applied. Lost money. Lost time. Lost candidates. Went to a competitor. Found a candidate in no time. Care.com would not refund me my subscription even though it was only 24 hours old, with negative results.
Do not get a subscription.

Our babysitter was very responsive when we booked, and worked well with my son, who enjoyed playing games together.

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: 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: 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: 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
