Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!!! I should give them zero stars. And their customer service suck!!!They just prey on the fact in our current society everyone needs some care sooner or later, but if you can, build a network of care providers outside this crazy scam!!! They don't deserve any of you money!

There is no zero star. The customer service is ineffective when it comes to your money. Be careful to not give them card information that will allow reoccurring charges. (Consider a gift card) If there is any sort of financial dispute they will send you around in circles rather than deal with the problem or attempt to make things right.

This site is totally scam!I had a terrible experience with Care.com and feel compelled to warn others. I subscribed to their service hoping to find a nanny, but almost all the candidates listed were either unavailable or not actively using the platform. It felt like a bait-and-switch situation with inactive profiles creating false *************** make matters worse, Care.com charged me for three months of membership despite my attempt to cancel. When I reached out for a refund, they refused, citing a "no-return policy." This... read more

Care.com is HORRIBLE! I signed up for a BASIC account and they charged me for a premium account. Not only that, they charged me twice on the same day. So what should have been $59, ended up as $215!! Worse yet, they refused to refund me! And then, customer service hung up on me. I view this as theft and they refuse to own up!

DO NOT get an account with care! Everything you are reading below is true. This company is a scam! I have been charged monthly for a premium subscription that I NEVER authorized! I only authorized payment for a background check and know I chose the basic plan. When I spoke with a representative, I was told my premium subscription was cancelled (which I already knew because I cancelled it) and that they do not offer refunds. I pressed harder on the situation and stated that this is considered fraud for charging me something I... read more

Care.com left my 80-year-old mother high and dry after ***** told them she didnt like me. I was barely around her as I work in my office at home. Now we have nothing. She/they should be punished.

Apparently I signed up more than two years ago when I was desperately seeking child care. I had no idea they have been charging me $75 a month since. I've receive no confirmation emails. I've not used their service since 2022. Nor did I find the help I was looking for. Very deceptive practices. I am sure I thought I was making a one-time. payment.

Horrible, do not use them, I opened an account looking for a babysitter for my 7 month old and they ran a background check without my permission after a month or so, found a misdemeanor from ***************************************** the world. They sent me an email terminating my account immediately
