What families are saying
Care.com has honestly been a real blessing for my family. We are newer to the city we live in and don't have a ton of friends and family to babysit our little ones. I have now found three really good sitters on Care.com and have been satisfied with the child care every time. I love the fact that many of the sitters have reviews and background checks.

I was skeptical as I never experienced hiring a caregiver for my dad, let alone through online services. Care.com made it simple and stress-free. It was easy to create an account and post help you needed. Within a short period of time caregivers started sending their applications. I was able to hire two caregivers and both are very caring and compassionate. Thanks to Care.com my family and I are now worry and stress free about my dad.

This was the first time we needed to find a pet sitter to board our dog over night. Using Care.com made it very easy to find multiple people to choose from who. Ultimately we were very happy with our choice, a loving and conscientious young woman to care for our dog. We were so happy with how well our dog did that we will be using her again in the very near future.

It's okay to have questions
How do I pay the caregiver once hired?
Payment terms are agreed upon between you and the caregiver. We also offer HomePay—an optional payroll service that helps you handle payments, taxes, and paperwork with ease.
Are there additional costs beyond the subscription fee?
It depends—families may choose to pay for optional services like background checks or payroll services. Since caregivers set their own rates, the cost of hiring a caregiver will vary. There are also booking fees if you decide to go with one-time booking.
How do I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel your membership at any time by visiting your account settings and selecting the cancellation option. Depending on your plan, your benefits will remain active until the end of your billing period.
Do you offer refunds if I cancel my subscription early?
Refund policies may vary—but typically, once a subscription fee is paid, it is non-refundable. Please refer to our cancellation and refund policy for more details.
