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.

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.

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!

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!!

Be aware of auto-renewal Be aware of auto-renewal for premium members. This company doesn't have a large database of caregivers in my area (Toronto, Canada), their site is not that user friendly (e.g. worker area not available) and workers are questionable - one applied asking if I could do cash as he didn't have a work permit. As for billing, I cancelled on the last day of my service and discovered I had already been charged for the next month. Went in circles trying to find contact info and two emails received by mailboxes not monitored. Tip - use the Chat feature during business hours to reach someone right away.
