The worst experience ever. I was looking for childcare through care.com. I was told that the company hire highly trained and back round checks for their site. So i searched and found a lady by the name *********************. I start my daughter on 9/26/21 paying $90 dollars every Sunday. I'm a single mother with three kid's and childcare is very expensive. With my schedule working through the week paying $225 to another daycare is alot. Now it's time for me to file my taxes and ********************* said that she doesn't hav... read more

Care.com is a rip off and even after emailing them to cancel subscription they continue to charge you. They make it impossible to contact them. Click HELP and it goes nowhere. Search internet for their number and it just gives instructions to go online a click HELP. They send unvaccinated people to your home. They are not responsible for the caregivers on their site. My bank is trying to help me, but site is just another way to rip off people in their time of need.

I would say to anyone looking to find help..... RUN from Care.com . this is a scam business. I am contacting my states Attorney General about this so-called business. Before signing up for 1 month of service to find a tutor I could see many tutors in my area. They were all looking to help students with studies in our home. there were many to choose from. BUT, when I joined, the tutors were not available, not certified teachers, not even educated people. there were 2 that might have been, but they are looking to be in home na... read more

Worst customer service ever because it's non existent. You cancel their service like they tell you to, jumping through hoops all the way and they continue to charge you. I emailed them and it said 48hrs for a response which was 4 wks and by the response they obviously didn't read the email it was a canned response. I went all through their website and conviently anything to do with billing the page wouldn't load. I disputed it with my CC company and they said they were told I never canceled it, which as you can see by all th... read more

SCAM! For two years they have taken over $900+ for membership services that I never ending up using. They made it nearly impossible to cancel! I would log into my account to try and cancel with no way other than to call them. No phone number listed to talk to a live person. No email to chat with customer service. I googled phone numbersfound two. Called them. Got a recorded message to use live chat for questions then it hangs up on you. After a year of trying three separate times to cancel I FINALLY found a link to cancel th... read more

Predatory business that is taking advantage of child care seekers and providers in a difficult market. The website consistently doesn't work. The company takes no responsibility except to collect up front subscription fees and refuse to communicate with customers when they're unable to provide services. All customer service seems to be outsourced and doesn't have the authority to resolve any issues.

Fraud, fraud, fraud. Claim to be a free service with a basic membership. Then somehow upgrade you to a premium membership with automatic renewal and **** into infinity. Worthless. Fraud.

THIS BUSINESS IS A SCAM. BELIEVE THE REVIEWS. Care.com is taking advantage of small businesses during a pandemic. They called to set up our small family owned preschool because we were looking to hire. They told us it would be 200$ for a whole year. They failed to let us know they charge per every lead they send your way whether you access them or not. They have charged us 880$ in hidden fees and their management team is fraudulent, deceptive, and unprofessional.
