Website it slow
April 21, 2022

Website it slow. The "My Jobs" page design is not very intuitive for users when looking to create a new job opening.

I thought it was free but you have to upgrade to message the caregivers. Please make that clear to those interested in your website

Your system would not move forward
April 20, 2022

Your system would not move forward. The ticking clock for the coupon seemed to stop the payment --- so I lost out on the promo code to save my time.

I didn't expect there to be a subscription cost! But, I'm new to the world of housekeepers and am daunted, so I will gladly pay for the ease of finding one...

So far I have not been able to use the sight in any useful capacity without paying a minimum of $40. It took 7 tries for my payment to process because of an error on your sight and at this point I just really hope this is worth it. It feels a little scammy because of all of the add ons. Where is this money going?

Too many offers to decline when you sign up for a premium membership! And now I lost the profile of the person I wanted to message. Bad UX!

Waste of money
April 20, 2022

I paid for this service, messaged 49 people for a babysitter. Only 1 person replied and her details did not match what she wrote on her profile.
1. She had no accreditations 2. It stated she was 19 however she mentioned she had just turned 18.
So unreliable, will be deleting my profile with them and demanding a refund.

I ordered the 3 month plan
April 20, 2022

I ordered the 3 month plan. It was advertised as 38.95. But I was charged 58.95. I'm weary of this site as it is. I feel like I got ripped off. And I'm not even sure about the people that applied. I wasn't even able to see the applicants prior to paying for the privilege to contact them. Bait and switch twice.
