Someone needs to remind Care.com that they are a service that can provide work, not a dating site, no worker should be paying out for nothing in hopes of finding a job! The site makes you feel forced to pay for its service too as you can't even receive or send messages from potential jobs/employers which robs the chance of obtaining a job. I have also come across a couple of scams, thankfully the signs have been quite clear and I have avoided working for the people/sending money for their child to get resources 'we need' etc, so checks on ads and parents profiles is unsafe. As someone who is on partial maternity leave, and fairly new to my area, sites like this could be very helpful in keeping me in part time work and help me to get to know my area and families here, but instead it just disappoints and asks me to pay out for 'upgrades' (that still don't guarantee work as it's your character and profile that matter when it's out there, not how much money you're paying for you to be displayed) asking me for money I don't have that I'm trying to get through trying to find work!

Thank you for your feedback. We are a paid subscription service and not a free service. I'm sorry if you thought otherwise and therefore felt mislead. That was never our intention. Many sites like ours charge a fee in order to be able to offer you the features our site offers. Otherwise we'd just be like any other free classified site with very little to offer. Care.com takes the safety and security of members very seriously. Together with our Safety team we do our best in order to make easier, safer and faster for you the process of finding either jobs or care for your loved ones. If you'd like to discuss this further, please reach us through our Contact Us link at help.care.com or through Facebook Messenger. Please include Reference Number REV-005543 in your response. Thank you.
