PRICE NOT WORTH IT!
MasterBoss88

I used this app when I first started cleaning for myself. Loved it until first it was free then 29.99 a month now 60 a month!!! Not worth it!!!!!

Decent site!!
Michbull1

I have been using this site for 7 years. With all it’s ups and downs, it’s helped me get quite a few jobs. Just have to keep on trying, and don’t get discouraged!!!

Pathetic

Won’t let me sign in or go back. When i go go select what i want to care for it says “error” every single time.

Gone down hill

I used to use care.com a lot, and actually got a few great jobs from it. However, now that they make you pay it’s close to useless. I’m not willing to pay to apply for jobs or talk to potential employers when there’s no guarantee I’ll find something, and a lot of times when I pursue a position I just NEVER hear back. But not paying makes the whole app useless.

Nice features - a little pricey, but safety is worth any cost...

I have enjoyed being able to go through and select appropriate caretakers for my needs, set up interviews, ask for background checks, etc. It is a little pricey, and you have to be a paid member to even really use the site effectively, and I don’t care for the fact that each individual task costs extra... but in the name of safety, I suppose no cost should be too large... not that it wouldn’t be nice to not have to shell out an arm and a leg before you even have a person to care for your child....

Poor babies

The price is too high, and watch out because they continue to bill you monthly beyond your initial payment! Then their customer service is terrible when you call for help. As far as the security checks for sitters, I find more accurate info from checking the state government public information website - thanks to this app I nearly hired a convicted larcenist who checked out clean on the app’s security check. Sitters who advertise have no accountability. Over the years I have consistently fond that for the few who actually respond to my ads or requests, I have a 50% chance that they’ll actually be truthful about the times, rates, or services that they advertise. Moreover I have a 50/50 record for them actually showing up to an interview after scheduling - of course that could be due to poor work ethic as well. I’ve been stood up for countless interviews and for actual jobs as well. Even though it seems like this app should be a good idea, for all the trouble...and for the potential rip off...you’re better off trying a local Facebook nanny search page or even craigslist and checking references carefully - at least it’s cheaper!
