have used this site once or twice and it worked well for us. I know someone that had found their nanny of the past 2 years off of it though and she is amazing! so I would still recommend! (Sep 15, 2017)

I found my son’s nanny through care.com and she is wonderful! You can post an ad for free but it’s a bit expensive to chat with prospective nannies. Aug 02, 2023

I paid for a subscription while we were searching for a nanny, but I didn't have luck finding someone on care.com. I live in a less populated state, and I just don't think there are enough people on Nov 30, 2022

Was new to my city and didn’t know anyone who had kids that needed sitters so this app was a dream! Found the perfect sitter and used her for months! Def worth the money spent Jan 24, 2021

Tried it for pet services but got scam messages and care.com hardly cared. Never tried it again for anything else. Jan 22, 2021

I have used this site as nanny, a tutor, and a parent. It is easy to use and trustworthy from every side. The ability to find someone to fit specific odd hours has been a God-send. Jan 13, 2021

I have used this to search for a caretaker. They post their rates and profiles, so you can find the best fit. Will be using this website down the road. Oct 19, 2020

I tried to find a nanny using care.com but for some odd reason was never lucky and only found good babysitters on another website May 07, 2020

A great tool to find a babysitter for everyday or date night. They even offer background checks so you know you’re leaving your kids with someone you can trust. Apr 18, 2020

Paid for the one month subscription and found us a nanny and a date night sitter that we love!! Feb 26, 2020

I signed up for this to look for childcare, but wasn’t all too impressed. I had much better luck with word of mouth than random interviews. Feb 08, 2020

Found our nanny on here and she’s amazing! Dec 28, 2019

The price is expensive to post a job and most of the time people that apply don’t even read but just send a vague response that isn’t personal to the job requirements. Not to mention the scam jobs. Dec 22, 2019

This seems to have gone downhill. There used to be a lot of caregivers but it seems that maybe they’ve move to other platforms lately. Nov 30, 2019

I find work on this all the time. I have made some amazing mama friends here as well. Oct 31, 2019
- Becky S.

Can’t even message potential sitters unless you pay. Ended up lining up potential nannies twice and both people ended up being a no show for our first meeting/interview!! Wasted my time and money Oct 20, 2019
- Alexandria W.

Care.com was easy to use and I found my dog sitter the first day. I love the background checks and referrals you can receive! It was easy to relax knowing I picked the right person to have at home. Aug 01, 2019

I found a cleaning lady about a month before giving birth. 7 months later and I don’t know what I would have done without her. Jun 21, 2019

Having an account on care.com as a parent proved to be a disappointment. I was not aware that the website would charge you to view applications to your job post. May 29, 2019

This tool allowed us to find two amazing nanny’s for our little one. Our first nanny had to relocate so we posted an ad again. Seems like there are a lot of quality people on there. Apr 16, 2019
- Elizabeth P.

Was a life saver in finding care for my son when I worked. I found great people at a reasonable price and it was super easy to use. Plus people applied to me instead of me having to contact everyone! Feb 25, 2019

Very expensive monthly subscription and the service is not worth using without the subscription. Feb 16, 2019
- Jessica T.

I used to be a babysitter on here. I loved how easy it was too find families near me to sit for. I found some amazing families and stuck with them for years. Now the option for background checks! Nov 25, 2018

I don't like that you have to pay to respond to the care givers. Sep 20, 2018
Inconsistent, unreliable, impersonal— many people to chose from Jul 30, 2018

Used this as a caregiver. Was able to find 2 different amazing jobs that allowed me to bring my young son along. User friendly, great mobile app. Jul 03, 2018
- Anna H.

We used two care takers for our son through care.com and both of them were unreliable. When your nanny doesn’t show up and you’re late for work it can throw your life out of whack. Mar 19, 2018
- Megan A.

Costs too much and we never got replies to our messages. Only would get them if we posted a job. I want to be able to search for a good fit and this did not allow us to do so. Jan 27, 2018

Great site for finding childcare. This is how we found our nanny. Upgrading to a paid subscription is definitely worth it if you are searching for a fulltime care giver. Oct 19, 2020

It's a nice concept but often messaged caregivers and they would not respond back. You could not tell if the caregivers were actively on the site. Jan 25, 2020

- Crystal B.

Largely disappointed. I have attempted to use on 3 occasions - you have to pay for a subscription to initially connect. People do not read your care needs (reach out, not a match)-others not high qty Jul 14, 2018

Couldn't find anyone I cared to have in my home to babysit. Would respond to applicants or message them and wouldn't hear back. Wasn't worth the money so I cancelled it Mar 29, 2017

We found an amazing sitter on Care.com. It's a little pricy, but totally worth it and can be cancelled at any time! Dec 19, 2016
