Care.com was always my favorite site to visit when I was a teenager looking for a babysitting job. It was free to apply for jobs and it was the best site ever. Now, care.com has gone through a lot of changes. Now they offer premium accounts for people trying to babysit. Not a problem to me, I kept my basic profile and looked for jobs. Now, however, I am an adult looking for a sitter so I made a new profile to post my job offer, but when the interested babysitters message me, I can't read their messages because I am not premium. If I can't read the messages, and I can't message them back, and I can't sign them up for an interview, then what is the point of this site? For me to pay monthly for it while still having to find someone to pay to take care of my child? No. I don't think so. Don't waste your time, trust me. It isn't worth it. I wasted my time posting and waiting for people who were interested because in the end, I didn't get anywhere and now I have no babysitter. I am disappointed in how bad this site has gotten. Also, there are many scammers who say they will "pay in advance" but it's a fraud. (For anyone trying to be a babysitter.)
