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.

CARE.COM ARE A BUNCH OF DUMBBELLS DUMBBELLS; I HAVE NEVER HIRED A SITTER!!! CARE.COM DOESN'T MONITOR THEIR SITE OR YOU WOULD KNOW I CANCELED SERVICE. I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS SERVICE TO ANYONE THAT DOESN'T HAVE A SOLID BACKGROUND WITH UNFRIENDLY WEB-SITES!

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 of automatic charges on your credit card! The care providers I found on the site were good but beware that care.com automatically sets up autopay and they do not notify you when they are charging your credit card! It's just a way to scam you out of money!

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.
