Absolutely terrible platform and almost a downright scam. When we signed up for the annual subscription, they default to checking the box for unlimited background checks so we were charged $280 for that. Their help center states they offer no refunds even though we were just charged two days ago and never used background checks. There is no support phone number, nor live chat nor email so there is no way to actually communicate with them. We cannot edit the subscription without canceling to remove the background checks but w... read more

I absolutely do not recommend this company. Very bad experience, with being blocked for no apparent reason..and absolutely horrendous customer service.

I purchased a premium account for one quarter and did not find a single caregiver during that time. Everyone I contacted was unavailable which makes me question the legitimacy of the website. After purchasing the premium account I downgraded because I only wanted to try out the service for a few months. Then I recently saw on my credit card statement, with no notice from the company, that I was automatically charged for another quarter. I tried contacting customer service via chat on ******** to refund the charge and they sa... read more

Another international fraud, based In *****, unauthorized charge of $38.95 appeared on my CC account, without confirmation, cancellation link is hidden and takes time to locate it, cancelled subscription, originally was offered one time discount of $27.95 , but never committed to continuing it. This company is a winner, one star is a joke , instead of star rating BBB should use p*** emoji.

Beware using Care.com - their policy is to auto renew no matter what option you select. If you select the 1-month option because you only want 1-month of service cancel it immediately after opening. They state their policy of auto renewing as a service to you - "If youre wondering why Care.com charged you for another month, thats because our subscriptions automatically renew. We know youre crazy busy, and its hard to keep track of every detail of your subscription"They're right, I am crazy busy so I forgot to cancel after un... read more

Complete SCAM. Subscribed for a month and was completely disallowed from being able to log in to my account 2 days later. They claim you can contact customer service through your account if you log in, but completely prevent you from being able to log in to begin with. Tried to use the forgot my password route, the website tells you it'll send an email to reset your password but never does. Tried to contact customer service on every single email option and got an automated response saying this email is not monitored on every... read more

BEWARE!!!!!! Total scam site Total scam site. Took my money for upgrade and then has blocked me from signing in. Cannot contact customer support because you need to sign in to contact them which I cannot do because they have blocked my ability to sign in. Waste of time and money.Update: Now that someone has reached out I am free to use the site. I have contacted about 70 of the listed babysitters and 4 have responded. 2 are not available for babysitting, 1 asked where I lived and ghosted me and the other was very promising u... read more

Would highly recommend you stay away. I signed up for a monthly subscription and was charged a full year. They will not refund the amount. The number of qualified candidates for babysitting was slim at best.
