********* auto-renewal policy! There were ZERO e-mails or other communications with receipts or notifications that the trial subscription had been automatically renewed. I ended up with hundreds of dollars in payments before we noticed it on the credit card bill. Don't trust this organization; it seems they are attempting to take advantage of people with sneaky "auto-renewal" policies and lack of communicating about ongoing billing. 

Business response:

Thank you for your feedback. I'm sorry to hear that our auto- renewing membership policy wasn't more clear. That is not our intention. We try to detail this information in multiple areas of our site to be as transparent as possible.

This company is a ****- they will continue to charge your card after you cancel. Do Not sign up for their one month service. You will have to Block them from continuing to charge your card.

Our account was suddenly removed. I received an email at the end of a business day before the weekend that our account was suddenly removed. We are in the process of seeking immediate care for our parents and unable to resolve the issue so that we may communicate with caregivers. This is so disheartening and frustrating. It is already so difficult to attain adequate care for seniors. The last thing I expected from care.com was to throw up a barrier for my sister and I to help our parents. We are so disappointed and in a very... read more

DECEPTIVE RENEWAL POLICIES - I'd rather leave ZERO stars. Anyone considering using this platform should run in another direction. I was looking for a tutor for my daughter. Signed up for their initial intro. I spoke with a couple of tutors but ended up finding someone from my daughters school instead. I didn't realize they would do an auto renewal and have absolutely no emails to remind me of upcoming renewal fees. No email notifications at all or opportunities to cancel. I want to formally express my serious dissatisfaction... read more

I signed up for a basic membership. So I could browse the sitters. We never communicated with any or hired any! They then charged my credit card in $383 (in 3 separate transactions so it didn't look as sketchy) I did not catch it in April of last year. But I did this year. When I call to tell them I never authorized this (or the initial) the customer service person just said... yes you did and you opened the email that said it would renew. (Mind you I checked EVERY junk, spam, inbox, ect...) clearly a Lie! This clearly fraud... read more
