Unethical billing practices. Despite thinking you are purchasing a one, two or three month term, they automatically enroll you in an ongoing subscription service without your consent or control. I purchased a one month term, why would I want to enroll in a never-ending service? It is then up to you to figure this out and cancel the subscription before they charge you. I did not realize this until I saw an additional charge on my credit card statement and when I reached out to them (which is not easy given there is no phone n... read more
I'm grateful to say that I found a house keeper through the service but my 2 star review is mainly about the fact that even though I cancelled my paying membership after finding a good house keeper, Care.com continued to charge my card despite the fact that I cancelled the service through their website. Of course there is no phone number to call to a live person to fix the problem. Yes they have a phone number but when I called it, the recorded message only said to find help on their website which makes their phone number wo... read more
Same scam as many others...cancelled premium, thought it was cancelled but wasn't. Company refused to re-emburse. They have a permanent glitch in their cancel button apparently, also they conviently do not send out mo they invoices. This has to be by design.
I have used Care.com for YEARS and YEARS and never had issues until now. In fact I've been interviewed by their marketing departments before. But obviously, by these reviews something isn't going right. I started a subscription to be able to post jobs. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of people working and it's very difficult to find help. So, my subscription has been posted awhile. I work full time and have a daughter with a disability I need a helper M-F. I wasn't getting any responses and I thought there are no people. ... read more
Care.com has been nothing but stressful! It is already difficult enough to find ************ let alone pay a fee only to have an account "disappear." Literally, my account is not found, I can't access it to formally complain to the company because I can't reach a live person. The only way a person can get through to their so called customer service is to have an open account with paid membership. I did pay, but my account is not found. I am very upset and dissatisfied with what I thought would be a blessing. The number liste... read more
I am well aware that memberships auto renew until cancelled as they do not offer any other option (red flag #1). As a ************* (hence why I needed to find a sitter) I forgot to cancel my membership but since I clearly hadnt used the membership in almost 2 weeks because I found a sitter, I was hoping they would offer me some ***** and refund me the money. I canceled and contacted them as soon as I saw the charge hit my account. On the chat they said since it was out of their normal policy to refund, theyd have to follow ... read more
Awful.. charged and extravagant amount of money with not a single response from a sitter or nanny with a very typical after-school care job posting. Very disappointing
Care.COM is awful. I am not complaining about the charges - which are clearly there to protect themselves from all the dissatisfied customers... I'm more upset about the lack of usability of the platform. It takes hours and hours to sift through caregivers who don't match the criteria. Then you can't eliminate ones you've already evaluated. Just a complete waste of time.
Clearly a company that has no faith in the value they provide, so they rely on a predatory overpriced subscription model that requires automatic renewal and offer no refunds if you forget to cancel before the next charge. And, I should have expected, I was not able to find the care I needed through their service. 100% do not recommend.
