I have been using care.com for over 6 years. I have a caregiver account and a family account. I recently learned that there was a lawsuit against them for many deceptive practices. I realized that I was experiencing these deceptive practices as well. My applications are not being received by families and messages are being blocked on both ends. I have a 5 star rating and have applied to several dozen clients over the past month but have not received one response. I know they are not receiving my applications. A civil court ordered care.com to pay 8 million dollars in damages for this exact reason. I have decided to find another platform and will not be working with care.com once I do. I suggest families and caregivers do the same. Care.com is not a trustworthy platform. UPDATE: Care.com reached out with tips and advice for me to improve my profile. They took zero accountability. My profile is not the problem. Families teach out to me on their own all the time. The problem is that care.com is blocking my applications because I am not a paid premium subscriber. I’ve cancelled my account.
