It was easy to setup and appears to have access to all the background information we want.

Dont like the 24 hour for response time, the lack of ability to cancel with refund for remaining time if i dont like it, and the basic version might as well be no version at all

The website is glitchy
April 15, 2022

The website is glitchy. I forgot my password and it wasn't able to get me to the page to reset it. So I had to make a whole new account

I have been charged 38 dollars and another 30 dollars for premium and made to pay again. Not sure if it's a problem with the website but my card was charged twice for same premium membership.

I don't feel like it's very user friendly. I tried to hire someone for a specific time for one day, and it wouldn't let me edit the time.

The nickle and diming of add-ons after subscription is some real low ball stuff. Very dissapointed that you don't just include things like seeing who has read our posting, background checks, etc., that your competitors include.

It's easy to use but very expensive. While I understand Care.com is to help maximize safety, it seems really high of a price to pay on top of actually paying our care givers.

Pop ups and ad-ons
April 14, 2022

Pop ups and ad-ons. Really doesn't matter what I put here. Those two things make you money. So, to summarize, you make this experience unpleasant and I regret subscribing. I will not renew nor recommend your site to anyone.

I have had issues trying to update my profile. It seems like this functionality should be basic and not so difficult.
