This is a scam

This is a scam. You have to pay them before you even know if they have anybody in the right place or for a reasonable cost.
And they are DISHONEST because they advertise their service as free, and they know you won't get any information without paying them.
Now they want more information: My review is very clear: You advertise your service as free, but no information on the desired service is available unless you get paid. I don't see any room for a question or more information here.

Elder abuse by a "caring" company

I am an older woman needing assistance with cleaning my home. I signed on to care.com, intending to use their housekeeping services

They quickly took my money for 3 months' access. After some difficulty, I found a housekeeper and agreed to meet with her in a few days.

The day of the meeting came and suddenly, I got a message saying I was blocked from access. No reasons given. I was allowed to appeal their "decision," but I got no response from that either. Huh?

I am a respected physician. Not someone deemed "sketchy" in any way. I am dumbfounded.

So essentially, I was taken to the cleaners by care.com, which won't give me a refund and which deemed me too "sketchy" to use their services.

This place seems like a scam

This place seems like a scam. Like daycare in Minnesota kinda scam. I needed babysitting services, as im filling out the application it pops up and says my account has been banned. I emailed help as I'm a new dad and never had an account. I received a generic message about account bans and how to appeal, but I never had an account submitted/established. Very odd.

Found some WONDERFUL care givers

Found some WONDERFUL care givers. And I did it in a relatively short time. Contacting potential candidates was easy through the messaging system.
My only criticism would be that many potential hires use AI to generate a profile and many are not specific to candidate.

I attempted to sign up for a year with the idea I would be billed monthly. When I requested a refund just minutes after my card was charged for a full year. I was told Care.com does not provide full refunds. I was offered a partial refund. I had not planned on keeping the service for a year. I do not like the idea of Care.com, stating I had to pay for 30 days, whether I wanted to use the service or not. The site does not clearly state that you will be paying for a year up front if you choose the annual option. My fault for not double-checking. I looked for the additional money information and could not find it on the website before I clicked to purchase. Beware and know what you are getting into

This website made it fast and efficient to get a nanny for my children. I did think the initial price was a little expensive, but I did catch a sale that was going by for Easter. Overall, I’m very pleased.
