You made me sign up for premium because I have applicants to my job posting, but turns out there aren't any. So I upgraded for no reason. Pretty poor way to treat your customers.

It's frustrating to not be able to filter out those that cannot except requests at this time. Need to improve the filter situation a lot.

The auto-renew feature is annoying
April 22, 2022

The auto-renew feature is annoying. You should offer criminal and driving checks for free. Also, you're not specific enough in your search.

Ive had multiple issues with logging in. Paid for a membership and then had problems with adding a profile. It won't allow me to do so but is prompting me to do it.

Don't know where to go next after giving my Money and selecting caregivers that might fit. How do I meet or interview prospective caregivers, how do I do background checks. Too many unknowns!

Your inability to buy only one month without an easy off switch is predatory.

It is an excellently formatted website. Ease of navigation; conveys security in transactions, Privacy for both Seekers and Applicants is protected,, yet flexible for quick communications.
All of the right Attributes. And, here's my favorite saying... It's a perfect wheel. Don't try to reinvent it!
Care. Com is 5*****'s
