Care.comReviews of care.com

I really love care.com. Their service makes it possible to find babysitters who will work unusual hours. And, if you have any problems, their phone customer service is excellent. They always answer my questions or resolve any issues I thought I had. I highly recommend care.com.

In 2005 I found myself suddenly unemployed after 27 years with a corporation and I didn't know what to do and where to turn to. I lost my house, my car and had to start all over with nothing but my personal clothing and items. Without CARE.com I don't know where I'd be right now. I started a transportation service, but I live in a very small town and couldn't make enough money to support myself. I began looking for employment on the internet and my major interest was in childcare. I have loved and cared for children since I was one. They always bring light, laughter and affection into my life and I felt I had so much love and affection to give to a child and their family. I eventually came across CARE.com and found my answer. I completed my profile, uploaded some pictures, had a background check and began my search. My search immediately found several families looking for a Nanny and submitted applications to those I felt would be the best fit for me. At that point my new career was born and I've never used any other medium since that day to find a position. The families have been without exception what they have portrayed themselves to be and I've loved the children and derived so much satisfaction and pride in the care I provided to those families. Another benefit is that I've made new and lasting friendships because of my involvement with CARE.com and continue to stay in contact with what I affectionately call "My Families". I would absolutely recommend this site to anyone looking for personal help or those who want to provide it. The site has been extremely helpful in answering any questions or concerns I have. Usually within 24 hours and they are also available via phone. The customer service is beyond reproach and wlll answer any concern no matter how many times they're contacted. Thank you so much Care.com for compiling and keeping track of all the information necessary to keep this site up-to-date and a viable option for finding help or personal employment. They also work with agencies looking for staff. Karen S. Harmon

I am returning to Care.com because we are moving. I first joined them to find a housekeeper who could also do personal services like laundry. There were several to interview and choose from and I ended up very, very happy with my choice. Now that I am moving too far away from our present housekeeper, I will be going through the process again and will be using the company to find a new housekeeper for our new home. Without this service, it really would be blind luck. With this service, we can interview several qualified candidates, have them go through a proper background check, and be confident we will hire someone who we will be happy with, and who will be happy with us. Thank you!

I easily joined care.com and advertised looking for daily pet care for my cats when I am out of town for several days at a time. I travel with my work and need a dependable person with whom I could build a trusting relationship to last for as long as necessary. I had several very good candidates apply so it was difficult to choose. However, I started with the person who responded first, Sarah Partee. She ended up being perfect - lovely young woman, experienced cat lover and pet caretaker, responsible college student, customer focused and willing to accommodate my schedule. She has now provided care several times and I am completely comfortable with her in my home and attending to my most important possessions. Thank you Care.com for making a wonderful match between me, my kitties and Sarah!

I found a caring and responsible pet sitter who fit my needs exactly! I posted a job looking for a pet sitter for when I'm out of town. Within 24 hours I had received many great applications from experienced pet sitters. Having gone through other caregiver websites and having bad experiences with pet sitter I was sure to be upfront and specific in my job ad to weed out anyone not up for doing all that was required and this saved time by not having to communicate or interview people that wouldn't, for example, be able to visit the dogs 4x at the specific times I needed or if they were not willing to accept what I was offering to pay. I did receive a few applications from people with little to no experience and who didn't seem very eager in their response so I ignored those applications but I had so many great options that I was able to narrow applications down based on the sitter's proximity to my house. The Care.com website is very easy to use and that made posting an ad very quick and painless.

Excellent service! Have used it on multiple occasions.

This is the second year I have used Care.com to find an after school sitter and both times have been extremely pleased with the sitters we've gotten. I would recommend this to anyone looking for child care.

I was charged when I thought I had canceled the membership. Care.com refunded my money easily and was very quick to respond. That is unusual in this day and age.
