Not clear how to add name to account, or change information. Not helpful guidelines or understanding of how job posts show up for caregivers.

I will work tirelessly to ensure I NEVER have to use this service again. It's a rip off to be asked for 3 different upsell opportunities. Good job, you got my money because I'm in a pinch but I'll be smarter next time

I have been trying to submit info to day care centers and it appears nothing is going through. Also your app does not include day care centers which is frustrating because I did not know that before I paid for my subscription.

Sounds as if it's free initially. Annoying that you keep selling even with your high price.

Your website wasn't working the first several times I tried to obtain care last month. This time when looking for care, after selecting "childcare" it took me to a form with "one time babysitting" when really I feed full time care

Very user friendly and easy to figure out! I will say that forcing us to sign up just to view the profiles seems excessive, but I totally get it.

So buggy

So buggy. Inconsistent UX. Earlier would not load paid pricing options. So many issues in our use of the app and website.

I am having a very hard time getting customer service. I just had to create a new account and pay for a second membership in order to be able to access customer support because I could not log in to my other account. I need to resolve the fact that I have multiple accounts and memerships with care.com.
