Very disappointing so far!
I have contacted 6 individuals who posted they are looking to be hired as a personal assistant. Out of the 6 I have only had one person respond. I bought into Care.com with the confidence the people posting ads were serious about looking to be hired. I want to hire the right person which is why I emailed several to interview and hire the right person. I find it very disappointing that the people who have signed up looking for jobs can't even reply to my email. I am disappointed in my investment in Care.com and faith in Care.com.

Hi M. We certainly understand wanting to hire the perfect person and hope to help in any way we can. Posting a job is a great way to reach a wide range of personal assistants in addition to reaching out to them directly. This will allow you to state exactly what you're looking for and help narrow down applicants as well. Also, every provider's profile will show the last day they logged in and their response rate to messages. This is something to keep in mind when reaching out to providers. Please let us know if we can help in any way.
