In addition regardless if you access or hire anyone on their list of home attendants your credit card is charged annually without your permission or knowledge for at least 3years.

Stay away from this site! Care.com is a complete scam and a waste of your time. This is why: 1) I signed up for a one-month subscription and Care.com kept making unauthorized charges afterwads without my authorization. It took me weeks to cancel my request to cancel a subscription I did not make. 2) I tried to activate a Premium subscription offered through my employer in my exisiting account. It turned out that Care.com system is neither capable of applying that benefit not would any of the 3 **************** representative... read more

I thought I was purchasing a month access and apparently purchased a year. I was completely unaware that this also automatically signed me up for a renewing yearly membership with no notice. I was not able to find care and didnt use this company for the entire year I paid. I saw the bill for the next year and tried to get a refund and they first tried to refund all but $80 and when I said I wanted to be fully refunded they said I was ineligible for a refund. Terrible customer service. Would not recommend at all.

I cancelled my subscription. It actually said: "subscription cancelled". I was automatically charged for 2 more months. When I complained it said there was a procedure one has to go though to cancel even though the above is stated in red. In addition, they provide no telephone number and the one I found after searching on- line directs you back to their website. 

Business response:

Please reach out to us so we can look into this more and make sure you did successfully cancel your subscription and that you don't have multiple accounts.

I signed up for a one year membership two years ago. First issue: I was not aware I was also signing up for auto renewal. Second issue: in 2023, I was charged for the auto renewal without ever being informed in advance of the impending renewal. Third issue: I never received a receipt for my renewal. Fourth issue: the exact same thing happened in 2024 as in 2023, which I am luckily able to dispute via credit card company. However, Care.com was not helpful at all. I did contact them first to try to resolve this. They only offe... read more

I never hit subscribe and they charged my card anyway when I tried to back out of exploring their subscription levels and add-ons. Then they refused to refund me. Completely fraudulent activity. Beware.

I was terminated without cause on August 2, 2024 1.5 hours before my last day. They had already given me my 4 weeks notice. I simply contacted care.com because I could not report this family via the app. Today is September 2, 2024. This is still not resolved. They keep sending me emails with answers that has not pertains to my concern. I couldn't update my background check because I wasn't allowed to update my card information. This hasn't been taken care of either. This was back in March/ 2024. The address on my old backgro... read more

They stole my credit card information. Every time I try and cancel my subscription the website says the next billing cycle and the amount. I called them same day when I got the charge and they said they dont give refunds even if I didnt make the charge. I called the number and no answer. Its crazy how many websites can steal your information and charge you. Then have a fake customer service.
