Fraudulent Sign up Constant Emails The website does not require the users email to be verified before they begin to send messages. Someone signed up using my email and solicited jobs. Now my inbox is full of spam from potential "workers". The service never requested the person to verify email.

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.

Don't get trapped!! They will auto-renew your account even AFTER cancellation. I had a one month premium membership with care.com. Upon reviewing some provider's profiles and trying to connect with them through the system, it became very clear that many of the provider's accounts were outdated. Their posted availability was not current, a few had picked up other jobs and had not yet cancelled their accounts, many folks didn't respond to messages, and one young lady didn't even know that she had an active account and lived 2 states away! In hindsight, this should have been my warning. I cancelled the membership, got an email confirmation of the cancellation (had to ride out the full month) and was assured that I would not be charged again. WRONG!!! They continued to charge my account for months after and when I finally noticed this on my credit card statement and called them, their phone system directed me to their website for assistance. I found the chat feature again and that person/bot did nothing to resolve this issue. The excuse was that my membership was reactivated -- I assure you that I did not do this -- and per their policy, could not issue a refund. I went to BBB to file a complaint and care.com is not accredited. I would absolutely not recommend this service to anyone.

Emma was wonderful Emma was wonderful. She was very communicative and great with her follow up prior to the booking process. On the day of, she was on time, professional and interactive with my son. She engaged him and got him to do more than I can! Thank you Emma~

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.
