I have used Care.com for years and I have never had a problem applying for jobs until now. Now the system will not allow the prospective employers to respond to my application unless I upgrade to their monthly charge. I am allowed to apply, but once I do, the person I applied to cannot answer my note of application. I'm very disappointed that this has happened.
Hi Beth! Families with Premium membership are able to reply to your application if they wish to, only one party has to be a paying member in order to exchange messages on the site. Best of luck on your job search!
