GBJobs requested, Pending account, Can't message families The company needs to seriously fix the issue with pending accounts. The site say is should take 24hrs, which is misleading. The moment I have virtual chat and explain my pending issue, it should be fixed and unlocked so I can communicate with families! everyone keeps saying 72hrs here, 72hrs there. I spoke to about 3 different agents and they all give the same story(72hrs). I've had this account for weeks!

CABe aware of auto-renewal Be aware of auto-renewal for premium members. This company doesn't have a large database of caregivers in my area (Toronto, Canada), their site is not that user friendly (e.g. worker area not available) and workers are questionable - one applied asking if I could do cash as he didn't have a work permit. As for billing, I cancelled on the last day of my service and discovered I had already been charged for the next month. Went in circles trying to find contact info and two emails received by mailboxes not monitored. Tip - use the Chat feature during business hours to reach someone right away.

GBBEWARE, once you sign up, they bill you forever, impossible to cancel. Have not used the service for over 7 years. Just saw they are still billing me an annual fee. Disputed with CC, Care.com came back to prove you canceled. I never even get an email from them; they just obviously try to bill you forever. Check out their Better Business Bureau rating of 1 out of close to 1000 bad reviews. Care.com sucks, really. I used them when my kids were little, one of their providers stole our CC.

GBnot great for last minute or not full-time care I specifically needed temporary care for only six weeks but full-time during those six weeks. Nothing on the website allowed me the ability to do that. Even when I needed last minute one daycare, I was given a list of applicants that were available and there wasn’t even any expectation that they were going to respond to me, so I didn’t actually have enough time to book someone last minute like the website advertised.

GBCan't delete messages and super slow! I paid your subscription fee only to have an underwhelming experience. For some reason your app and webpage move slower than anything else I've browsed in recent times, so I've burned a bunch of time just waiting for messages to reload. Regarding messages, you've apparently removed my ability to delete or hide messages which are not of use to me so now my inbox is full of junk messages and I have to try to remember which ones are good matches and worth keeping. THere is no explicable reason why I should not control the right to manage my inbox. That in itself is an epic fail by Care.com and a main reason why I will be canceling my subscription. Especially when you pair a cluttered inbox which I cannot cleanup, to the slow performance of your app and webpage...it's a large waste of my time to try and use your service.
