Don’t bother

Unless you’re going to be paying $20+ an hour for a person I would not bother even attempting to try because of forces you to pay and then they refuse to refund you when you find out that it’s not for you there is no tested out for 24 hours or 36 hours or something just to see if it’ll work. You’ll have better luck on Facebook.

Met caring people

Hi, I highly recommend care.com. I have found excellent help on this app for years. Had some great babysitters. Currently kids are older, now needing tutoring. The app is so easy to use. Making a posting is easy. I swiftly got back a bunch of very qualified applicants who were available at the times I needed. I ready appreciate the safety features on care.com. I will probably use this app again when I need elder care for my parents. Thanks care.com!

Pay for app

$100 for the subscription just to find a babysitter to pay.

Senior care

Car.com has helped me fill my needs for a caregiver for my mom. It is such a relief to have a place to go to find a variety of people and skills to meet your needs.

Con artists

This app charges you to connect you, I’ve talked with over 20 sitters and none can make the schedule work. I’ve paid monthly for this app and it’s done nothing for me.
