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.

Good/Bad The end result was good. I found two caregivers who will meet my needs. The downside is that I found your website difficult to navigate. I am not that internet savvy and would have like to talk to a person to help me through the process. There was no phone number or address to contact. I am still not sure what "subscription" means or what I have gotten my self into by signing up for three months. What happens next?

Can't delete messages and super slow! I paid your subscription fee only to have an underwhelming experience. For some reason your app and webpage move slower than anything else I've browsed in recent times, so I've burned a bunch of time just waiting for messages to reload. Regarding messages, you've apparently removed my ability to delete or hide messages which are not of use to me so now my inbox is full of junk messages and I have to try to remember which ones are good matches and worth keeping. THere is no explicable reason why I should not control the right to manage my inbox. That in itself is an epic fail by Care.com and a main reason why I will be canceling my subscription. Especially when you pair a cluttered inbox which I cannot cleanup, to the slow performance of your app and webpage...it's a large waste of my time to try and use your service.

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.
