A friend of mines little girl was babysitting and had a medical emergency and had to cut the night short, again no fault of her own. The next day, the girl was terminated from care.com without any explanation. She was never given a Chance to explain her side of what happened. My friends daughter is distraught over this as this was her first job. They had no interest

A huge problem with Care.com is that it is wholly set up to favor clients and not sitters because the software only allows clients to initiate reviews and not sitters. Sitters can only respond to client reviews which is basically useless - it only attracts more attention to the bad review. This one way review option only leaves sitters with no recourse for bad clients including ones who don't pay them fully or much less than the agreed price. The client knows there is no recourse for the sitter so it is an incentive for them to cheat the sitter as they choose. I have already contacted the site about this but have received no response. Maybe they will respond to this review. I will be checking.

hi im a 15 year old girl who is really responsible . i am looking to baby sit i love babys and kids there great. and fun to be around. if in need of a babysitter text or call me @ 978.332 6623

I had a similar experience like the first poster so I'm finding all the positive posts are probably just coming from the company trying to better their reviews - the lady we almost hired for cleaning oru home had a clean background check with Care.com but when my husband paid to get one through another company - her license was suspended, two of her referrals where kind of shady sounding and she had one domestic abuse on her file - when i confronted care.com, i got a lot of double talk but nothing that answered any of our questions, so we had them close our account...we never used any of their other services - but after this, I wouldn't hire anyone from their site to watch my dog...

Run from this company. I signed up in order to find child care - everything was going well until I received an email letting me know my account was closed and money being refunded due to a questionable report they received on me when they did a background check on me - I was sent a copy of the report. The person on the report had felonies coming out of her wazoo - I have never been in trouble with the law, not even as a youngster - The only thing the person on the report and I shared were similar first and last names...that's it...everything else was terribly way off. I did however receive an email letting me know that as soon as the information is corrected, i can once again resume my account with them - they are out of their minds, as soon as this nightmare is over they can keep my account closed as I want nothing to do with them.



Now it's a fight to get this corrected. Don't give any of your information to Care.com - and don't trust them to find someone to care for your children or your home - I wonder how many people with questionable backgrounds have been put through and approved as clean.

I've had a hard time finding quality sitters, and am so glad I found this site. It's really easy to use, and the general quality of sitters seems higher than average. I had no trouble finding people right in my area. I had a great response to my ad on the site, and now have a few really good people who I'm using for nights when my husband and I go out. We are going away this summer, and I'm going to see if I can find a pet sitter on the same site (they have several different kinds of "sitters").

Care.com is one of the best services around! I am a stay-at-home mom of two who is very picky about who I let watch my children, and I was very nervous about trying to find a baby sitter for times when I needed to get out of the house. Well, I found Care.com and was so relieved to find that I could search a huge database of qualified providers, and they had background checks and references! My favorite part of the service was that I could listen to people's references that had been recorded, so I didn't even have to pick up the phone and do it myself! The site is easy to use and attractively designed. I would recommend Care.com to any family looking for a quality baby sitter!

needed a nanny and care.com was able to accommodate my needs very quickly with a professional and certified nannny that i will be using for a very long time. thank you for everything.
