I signed up for ca.care.com as a caregiver. It used to be fine - you could message whoever you wanted. Now you can not message interested families back without upgrading to a premium membership. The only messages I get are from scammers who come off as very creepy or are "moving to your area soon" and describe payment in a different currency. How are these scammers getting into my inbox but legitimate jobs are not?

All jobs posted are extremely generic and use the exact same phrases and sentence structure. It has me wondering if these profiles are even real or if its all a facade.

I have only had one successful job through this site, but it was a one-off job. Beyond that, anytime a family expresses interest in my profile I am unable to respond back without upgrading. I have since started using canadiannanny.ca and sitter.com and have found a wonderful family to sit for.

Thanks care.com for only allowing creeps and scammers to contact me.
