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.

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.

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!!

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....

Jobs requested, Pending account, Can't message families The company needs to seriously fix the issue with pending accounts. The site say is should take 24hrs, which is misleading. The moment I have virtual chat and explain my pending issue, it should be fixed and unlocked so I can communicate with families! everyone keeps saying 72hrs here, 72hrs there. I spoke to about 3 different agents and they all give the same story(72hrs). I've had this account for weeks!
