Not successful in any way with 2 different jobs advertised We weren't successful in any way with either my job seeking elder care for my parents nor care for my disabled son. I did reach out to a couple of candidates and I only got a few responses and each was saying they had other jobs now. Also, I had emailed care.com and said that we weren't have any luck and wanted to cancel our membership at renewal time but I got no help and now my son's special needs bank account has been charged for another quarterly fee.

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and trying to connect with them through the system, it became very clear that many of the provider's accounts were outdated.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.

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.

Terrible experience Terrible experience. Initial sign up page states that the subscription is monthly but you can pay for the year up front and that you can cancel the subscription at any time but will not refund you if you do. Extremely misleading business practices.

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.
