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.

Too expensive Too expensive. You go through the whole process to post a job, at no point does it say how much you have to pay to access replies. You can't even see availability or qualifications without paying £25. I understand that they don't want to divulge contact info without paying the membership fee, but we should be able to at least see if the replies are from qualified and relevant posters, and view the (limited) profiles without paying. Should have been transparent upfront!!

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.

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!

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.
