Good for clients, but not user friendly I have got a lot of clients through care.com which is wonderful.But it is not very user friendly. I have had a lot of tech issues some of which have prevented me from responding to potential clients; possibly lost clients due to that. When I go to customer service I can usually get responses through the chat but often times they tell me it needs to go to IT and I will hear from them in two weeks. Both times it took about six months to hear back. Also when I apply half of the applications I put in are of people who are not actively hiring. However there's no way to know that until I submit to the job. I'll send about thirty messages and only about five of them are actively hiring. Lastly , there's a lot of things that were not told directly that caused a lot of issues. For example you cannot send links through care.com and there's a limit to how many messages you can send in a day. Not knowing these 2 things caused a lot of strife and me having to message multiple people through their chat to figure it out.

Lauren is very sweet and did a great… Lauren is very sweet and did a great job taking care of our 2 year old daughter. We were staying in Santa Barbara for a few nights for my husbands work event and we were able to connect with her a few days before hand. She was very responsive and well spoken. Our 2 year old can be quite a handful and has pretty bad seperation anxiety, so she did a great job keeping her distracted and entertaining her.

not 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.

BEWARE, 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.

Bizarre site, get kicked out for no reason The site seemed ok, I paid for 3 months, then it just cancel my membership with a refund a few days later and deleted me. Apparently I don't meet their criteria when I asked why. I'm looking for a housekeeper and they have housekeeper, it's not like they are a proper agency, they allow individuals looking for work to register and have a profile so people can contact them or apply to work with other people such as myself job adverts, so it basically is an internal job listing site. Expect to suddenly get kicked of with no reason and pray you aren't mid arranging something, you need to pay both sides to contact people, and often people don't reply....
