I have had the worst response and resolution with this company. I signed up about 4 years ago and have never successfully found a babysitter through this services. I decided to sign up for the premium membership hoping I would have more success finding a child care since I was moving to another area. Fortunate for them, I paid for 3 years not using the platform. When I decided to use them again, I was not able to log into my account. I could see a landing page of some sort that was tied to my account through my email, but I ... read more

When signing up for a premium subscription I found the information displayed to be very misleading and thinking that I was going to be paying $12.95 monthly, I was charged one lump sum for an entire year. After reaching out to a representative I was told that I would have to pay $39 for the month, but could receive a refund for the rest of what I was billed. The representative told me the refund would be processed the next day. After waiting two days and seeing no refund reflected I reached out to the company again. I was th... read more

I wish that I would have read these reviews prior to using Care.com. They automatically charged me for a year without as much as and email letting me know this was going to occur and the date which this would take place.When I request a refund in writing, I used the service twice about a year ago, their response said the following:"We work hard to make billing terms as clear as possible to our members. To ensure there are no surprises, we take the following action for every premium subscription: We send a confirmation email ... read more

I signed up because there was what I thought, jobs near me. I wanted a basic membership, no charge. I was charged for a premium, I did not sign up for! Then the jobs were not on there for my zip code. Then my photo could not be uploaded, because of errors! I tried and tried to cancel, to no avail. I chatted a rep who then said no refunds! I was charged $4.99 for NOTHING, I feel like this company is a scam! I'm contacting the attorney general to investigate this company. This company also does not have any kind of phone numbe... read more

I paid $37.16 to Care.com yesterday after waiting a month till I could afford it. I had gotten 1 response. They took my money and then I get an email this morning from them saying that my account was closed and gave me no reason why. I am a 69 yr old disabled female who has been homeless for 9 months. This company is very deceptive and should be shut down ASAP! There is no way for me to cancel their monthly subscription!!! I shouldn't have to cancel my card due to their fraudulent practices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Care.com website is fraudulent. I tried to cancel my subscription in October. On the profile there is a "cancel" option. When I hit the cancel button it took me to the home page. I assumed it was cancelled. Last week in Jan I noticed I was still being charged. I got back onto the site and tried cancelling again and again it took me to the home page. I got onto the help chat. The individual cancelled my subscription manually and i got a cancellation notice. He indicated that i could use the site till Jan 23rd when the subscri... read more

Do not use this company, they have very deceptive practices. I signed up thinking I was paying for a one time payment for one month but the company is very deceptive they automatically charge you monthly. There is no way to call customer service because they do not list a phone number online. When i finally reached someone by chat they tried to blame me for not canceling the service. The only number i was able to reach was for billing and they would not let me speak to a supervisor and informed me that one would email me. I ... read more

This company is a fraud. Once you register with them you can't get in touch with anyone by phone. I have been messaging to cancel membership for months with no success. They kept drafting my account. They do not assist with anything as far as finding care jobs. Do not use this service!

Tried for a year to cancel my account. Repeated phone calls were hung up on. Emails were not responded to. Then an email finally came saying my issue was resolved. I was relieved to finally be done with them then noticed months later they had STILL been billing me monthly. When I finally got someone on chat (pro-tip that's the ONLY way to get any service from them) they would only refund 4 of the 12 months I was billed for. Crooks.
