Misleading services. Paid for a month and upon subscription found that the there were no qualified candidates available. Also, I paid $20 for a background check at checkout, but it was not disclosed to me that Care.com already did a standard check for which there is no charge.

As a business we signed up with care.com to market our preschool. We were told that we should see enrollment of ever 1 out of 10 or 1 out of 20 families that contact us through their website. Out of 98 families I have contacted we have gotten 2 enrollments. Most of the families we never get a response from, or they were looking to be called. Care.com can't control that, however, when I have attempted to call *** the sales manager and ***** part of the sales team I don't receive a call back. Let me rephrase that, out of the 1... read more

Continued to charge me after I had cancelled my account. Impossible to find contact information on website to speak with someone about these issues. They say on their website in the legal section they will not do refunds - clearly a shady business practice that will refuse to refund when they have not provided the appropriate service. 

Business response:

Hi *******, I'm sorry to hear you have been getting charged after you feel you cancelled your account. Please reach out to us through our contact us link at help.care.com, via our phone number listed on your credit card statement, or through ******** Messenger so we can look into this more and make sure you did successfully cancel your subscription and that you don't have multiple accounts.

Complete waste of money! I paid for the upgrade to find child care and did the 3 months for $78. Somehow ended up being charged for a background check for $60 and another charge for $12 and I didnt even find a caregiver. I thought it was going to charge me if I had found a care giver that would be fine but not before you find one. There is nobody that can help me and when I go to post another message it looks like it wants to charge me again! I spent $160 and got absolutely nothing out of it. They will not reimburse me, only... read more

You need to pay for **** services if you want to get work! Im not a paying customer, nor will I ever be. And my profile gets buried at the bottom of the list of care providers in a my given geographic area. And when someone does stumble upon me, they say Im the best candidate they have seen because I have four 5 star reviews. None of the other candidates had reviews at all. I called **** customer service on several occasions because my app profile was incorrect. They said they would fix it. 3 months later and still not fixed... read more
