I have used Care.com as a Provider
I have used Care.com as a Provider since their inception. Yes, they have grown into a much larger company and have some issues. Hopefully they will address the scammer issues and get more technical support/re- vamp the site with new programming etc. which in my opinion somehow needs to be updated to handle how successful they have become. My only complaint was that in order to get a back ground check, I was told to completely void my profile and create a new one due to moving. This had never been required before. There are good and not so good providers that use this site. When seeking someone myself for help with my Father, I recognized someone on the site who I knew to be a terrible CNA who was on the staff where my Mother was in a Nursing Home. I have experienced both wonderful people through this site and extremely difficult clients that no one would stay and help. All in all, it is a good source for commerce. I saw a review that providers do not respond to messages. In my case, those seeking providers, 90% of the time do not acknowledge an application...or follow up on communications. Online anything should always be tempered with care. Care.com customer service has always come through for me.
