AI Highlights
  • - Care.com has a terrible interface and the site often doesn't work.
  • - They claim charges are misused and support is poor.

Avoid signing up for their services entirely! There's a reason they were recently sued by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and had to pay millions of dollars, because they are a scammy company and just try to steal peoples money.

Original review Sep 04, 2025

Care.com has a terrible user experience interface; nothing works on their site. They just try to steal people's money without cause and have little to no customer service (it takes 5 business days for any response).

They have no phone number because they know how bad their service is, and there's no way to dispute anything. Just avoid using it at any cost!

Loss:
$32
Cons:
  • Are a scam site

Preferred solution: Full refund

User's recommendation: Stay AWAY!

Negative energy

Original review Mar 31, 2025
My account was flagged, and I've tried all the available means to contact you for an appeal, but I failed. My name is Charles Walugembe at panchanoh@***.com.

Last year, 2024, around April to July, I was working with Kim, a female patient in Wilmington. I worked with her in the morning and evening for two months, but the job was requiring me to be at our place very early, yet it was contradicting with my main job. I asked her to employ another caregiver, including suggesting people I know who live nearby and can make it on time, but she kept firing them because she was accusatory in nature. When she got one of her long-time caregivers back from vacation, I also told her that I was not picking up any more new hours, which upset her, and she must have reported my account for any false accusation, of which I am unaware.

I'm sure she never wanted me to drop some hours, yet in her own conversation with me, she had someone pick up all the hours that I was doing. I would like to be given a chance to present my side of the story so that I can regain my account, and I would be grateful if my wish is accepted.

User's recommendation: Kim is an accusing type of a patient, and this is evident even when she was still in the facility where I first met her. She reported most of the nurses and the CNAs on a daily. But because I had known her in the facility, I knew how to live with her and one thing I didn’t know that she was going to report me because I was leaving and indeed I had to go since that was not my main job.

TERRIBLE COMPANY

AI Highlights
  • - Care.com charges are non-refundable per Terms and Conditions.
  • - A $34.42 charge was issued after posting a post-surgery ad; refund denied.
Updated by user Jun 14, 2025

DO NOT DO BUSINESS with these people.................. They take your money and immediately cancel you, and don't give you an explanation other than you didn't meet their terms of service. Unbelievable people.

Original review May 30, 2025

UNBELIEVABLE...Unfortunately, Im unable to issue a refund of charges youve already incurred.? Care.com charges are non-refundable, as stated in our Terms and Conditions.

I no sooner wrote an ad ,,,that for some reason, did not meet their guidelines.

for post surgery care ...I receive a charge for $34,42. Your membership is now active. ...The next notice I get your account has been suspended. ;...

I didn't even get to use it... And they're going to charge me the $34.42.

and say they can't refund my money when I haven't used it.??? Unbelievable

I wish I saw this earlier, they did the exact same thing to me. Canceled within 20 minutes of opening account, I hadn't even had time to use the site. No idea why the cancelation and I just hope they don't try and charge me recurring fees since I cannot access the site or my account to delete my personal information and credit card information.

I immediately put a dispute in with my Platinum American Express account. These people are one of some of the worst out there, I tell you.

Care.com Locked Me Out Right After Payment — Refuses to Refund

On June 20, 2025, I purchased a 3-month subscription to Care.com. Within 24 hours, my account was locked and I was unable to access any services.

No specific reason was provided, and no communication was sent notifying me of the account termination.

I reviewed my message history to confirm there were no violations of Care.coms policies. I contacted customer service to request clarification and a refund. I spoke with a representative named Queenie, but the chat was abruptly closed, and my follow-up messages have been ignored.

Despite never receiving the service I paid for, Care.com has refused to refund the subscription. Their conduct appears to be a deceptive billing practicecharging for services that are never delivered and then avoiding accountability.

This pattern undermines consumer trust and may indicate systemic unfair practices.

I am requesting the Georgia Attorney Generals Office investigate Care.coms billing and account suspension procedures. My desired resolution is a full refund

Dissatisfied

First of all, I can't get my app on my computer anymore, which I've had for about 10 years. Secondly, I can't get my messages on my computer anymore.

I have to go to my phone for everything, which I do not want to do. I keep putting in the distance, and they keep taking me hours and hours away from where I want to be employed. I'm sure I'll think of something else. No one's contacting me.

I left several emails.

I've got no response. I've been with you guys for ten years, very dissatisfied; do not get this app.

Preferred solution: Results

User's recommendation: This app sucks
