Good for finding sitters
Very reliable way to find good sitters! Have found it’s really only useable in larger towns and cities (not, for example in small towns in Alaska where we used to live 😉).

Care.com Backup Care is completely unreliable
For a service that is supposed to help with childcare emergencies, Care.com Backup Care is just a dumpster fire. They rarely are able to find caregivers and most requests go unfulfilled.

Nero Cabantug
I just want to thank my friend and professional caregiver,
Nero Cabantug for allowing me to get some respite for myself. My husband, Fred Johnston has dementia and I’ve been his sole caregiver for 9+ years. Nero came into our lives with so much empathy, laughter, and care for Freddy and allowed me a few nights to care for myself. None of us knows how much time we have left, but Nero reminded me to take time for myself and then gave it to me. Freddy and I love you, Nero. I hope you’ll be available again soon but for now, I’m trying to be as good and patient at caregiving as you are.
Friends & Neighbors, if you need a really special man to bring his caregiving skill to yourself or your loved one, contact Nero through Care.com. Love to Nero, Lydell and your cousin.

Don't trust the reviews
I have hired several people from Care and even worked as a provider years ago. I can tell you that they allow anyone to provide services and they don't let you review a person twice. Many services will do their best the first time and then get lazy. Even myself when I was babysitting on there. So many of the reviews you see are not reflective of the experience over time like a Google review or Facebook review or weird of mouth would be. They also will auto bill you and keep the money, I've never worked with a company unwilling to refund you for a service they didn't render. Feels like they don't actually care about quality or use experience, hopefully something better comes to market.

Huge Disappointment
Honestly, I’m so disappointed with this app. I expected it to be helpful and make things easier, but instead, it’s been a frustrating experience. It shouldn’t be this difficult to use an app that’s supposed to help people find caregiving jobs and connect with families. It feels like more trouble than it’s worth, and I’m left wondering why it’s difficult to even contact support and or get a email or reply back from them. People are coming to this app looking for real opportunities, and the experience should reflect that. Care.com seriously needs to do better because, as of right now, I can’t say I’d recommend it to anyone.
