Waste of time and $
So far all I have received was a bunch of emails from people I may or may not be intersted in so that I reach my "limit" so it is a total scam to make you sign up for the more expensive monthly fee. When I contacted one one the girls I found and liked on my own (which is how I wanted to do this and was pretty sure how I signed up to do it. I didn't post a job, that I know of unless it was in the initial sign-up) she was already booked up for the summer, and she didn't know why she was still listed on the page. I did look through the e-mails that I received and contacted 2 of them, but 1 was not interested in the job and the other has not responded. Suffice it to say I am not happy and will be canceling my account and contacting another service. I signed up because a few of my friends on Facebook had "liked" this company, I will not be doing so.

Hi Melissa, thanks for writing about your experience and we're sorry to hear it's not positive. We encourage all of our care providers to update their availability if they already have a job and are no longer looking to help avoid situations like the one you came across. Unfortunately, we aren't able to guarantee that the caregiver you are interested in is available for your specific job since we are not an agency and don't place families with caregivers directly. Posting a job is helpful so you can receive applications from caregivers who are interested in your specific job needs. Please send us an e-mail at [email protected] if you need further assistance. Thanks again!
