I got an immediate response from a caretaker who seems to understand my situation, and has experience in the field. We had an online discussion and came to an agreement.

The website was easy to follow. Good resumays for each candidate. Weare very pleased with our selection.

Even if you get a subscription so you can message providers, if they don’t res ch out to you first, you have to pay for their service before speaking to them. Trying to find a nanny and we can even talk to them and interview them without paying for them. Then you have to get a refund if you don’t move forward! Ridiculous.

Did not hear back from the two caregivers I tried to hire

I like that I found a housecleaner. That's #1. Care is popular so there are a lot of potential hires to choose from. I didn't like that my job posting was auto closed at 3 weeks without notice. I'm taking care of my 90 year old parents as well as looking for this housecleaner for them, and I had been communicating with prospects right along. Suddenly finding the job closed added additional stress that I didn't appreciate. When I reopened the job, my original applicants were gone. Fortunately I found by happenstance that the original message chains with the original applicants were still there so I could reach back out to hire one of them and thank the others for their interest.

I did not ask for or book a sitter. I signed up for housekeeping. The Cacom site is very difficult to use. Just the fact that I was sent an email from care asking me to review a sitter that I didn't even ask for is proof that their site is confusing. I would like to encourage care to do an update to their site. I think that they could get more business.

I received multiple applications the first day and I believe one will work out well. She was responsive and provided resume and references quickly. She offered to be of assistance in anyway necessary even before my surgery

Posting a job was fast and easy, and we received many good applicants in a short period of time. Navigating the website and communicating with applicants was very intuitive and easy. We were able to quickly find the right match for us, and they have been wonderful helping with mom. She was exactly what we were looking for. Would highly recommend, and definitely will use in a future need!
