I lost 400 dollars to the subscription based awfulness. I never got a nanny off of it, I got one off of ******** mom groups. They are money hungry and not helpful

I signed up for Care.com to find a house cleaner. I chose the 3 month term. I wasn't successful in my area but so be it. The problem is it auto-renewed for another 3 month term. I had not noticed that was what was going to happen when I signed up initially. I had not even used the service for over 6 weeks. I immediately contacted Care.com and ask for a refund of the new charge stating I was unaware it was an auto-renewal. I was told that was not possible even though if I hadn't logged into the platform for weeks. This seems ... read more

I am filing a formal complaint against Care.com regarding an unauthorized and unjustified charge of $129 to my account.I initially signed up for Care.coms monthly membership, which is advertised at $9.99 per month. However, I canceled my membership within 3 days of opening the account. After canceling, I did not use the platform for any servicesno babysitter was hired, scheduled, or provided.Despite this, Care.com processed a $129 charge to my account after my membership had already been canceled. At no point did I authorize... read more

I signed up for this service to find child care. I do not remember signing up for an extra package for background checks but was charged a fee of $180. I canceled my subscription after 3 weeks because the type of applicants were very sketchy. It seemed more like a place for people to easily find kids for child trafficking. I do not recommend using this website for childcare. 

Business response:

We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any confusion with your billing. The unlimited background check add on can also be purchased when a member is purchasing a Premium subscription. We also want to make sure to note that we safety is our top priority. All caregivers must have a Care.com Background Check, and we also offer three levels of background checks to purchase. We also have a comprehensive ************* (care.com/safety) that includes information and tips for using the site safely. If you would like assistanc... read more

It cost me over $100.00 to find out that there is no customer service. I needed a housekeeper and posted it. The responses were terrible. People would set up an interview then cancel. They did not communicate. I don't think there is any vetting going on. Why would a dog ****** respond to a post for a housekeeper. In the end I found no one. The site is hard to navigate , I would have done better with a ******* list ad. In the end I just googled some local housekeeping services. Got great customer service with them.

Any responsible business would give a heads up before an annual subscription renews. I had a brief period in March 2025 where I needed to find care for an elderly parent. I paid for an annual subscription. The service was not great and I did not find anyone useful. Got distracted by life and forgot all about the subscription. Saw the renewal fee on my credit card this morning and of course found out its too late to cancel. Not acceptable, a complete scam, terrible customer service to autorenew with no heads up.
