UPDATE: Re: Developer response. As far as the pay range; of course I have the pay range selected for pay above $15 an hour, I am capable of doing a simple search, however, all the lower paying jobs still show up. The filter results feature is a joke. As far as taking safety seriously, I am still getting bogus responses and now I can spot the fake listings. Double verification may help weed out fake s. I'm getting more frustrated by the day with these glitches. Please address then and don't just reply with a robot response. I have been on and off this site for years. I am continually getting fake s and getting messages from people saying they are no longer a member and to email them directly. These are fake s and there are a lot of them. There has to be a better system. I don't believe that these are actual people hacking the system. Something is definitely wrong. I have emailed numerous times to no avail. This needs to be fixed. Out of every 10 applications 5 are fake. It's not the websites fault for people being cheap but when I put in my pay range for over $15 an hour every job shows up. I don't need to go through 30 job postings that show $10 an hour. It's frustrating.

Waiting to see if the subscription, background, and drivers history fees are worth the amount of gigs that I hope to get from this app. So far it has been slow. I noticed that before ing the subscription, no one can even send you a message which was confusing to learn one day when I tried to communicate with a potential Gig. If I had known, I would not have wasted a whole week with my profile and info up, just to not be able to be ed by Pet parents for gigs. Also, after applying for jobs you do get a little anxious, wondering if the client even viewed your message. If the client has received 15 other responses, it’s possible that they may have picked the first response that they received, but you would never know it as the client won’t always respond to all 15 requests, nor do you get an auto message letting you know that the job has been taken or that your were denied. It would be nice to get a status on gig requests instead of the gig remaining on your dashboard and even marked a “new”, despite possibly being booked already. I’ll see how this next week goes:)

I used to love Care a few years back. I met a family I was with for 5 years through them. After having my son, I took time off to be with him. I am now looking for a job here and it seems nearly impossible! I am constantly bombarded on the app to pay the of $25 a month to become a member. So annoying because I have no income yet need to pay to get a job!? Basically if you are not a member your profile is not seen frequently and have limited communication with certain families and you don’t even learn this until after you apply. You check your messages to see if they’ve seen it or responded and get a message saying “ allow them to respond.” Are you kidding me?? Also seeing parents ask for 10-12$ and hour for multiple kids is a joke. The parents should also have rules when requesting care. I have had parents me, set up interviews and then never respond to me. It would also be helpful to see more specific times and days they would need care. I guess I will continue to try my luck getting a job without being a member.

But care, you perpetuate abuse to caregivers by making parents believe it’s OK and acceptable to ask for everything under the sun without fairly compensating the caregiver. A Nanny provides for child/ children. She is not a housekeeper, laundress for the family, errand runner, chauffeur, family assistant. When you ask the question “what else are you willing to help out with?” This question gives permission to families to abuse. It does not mean for no compensation. You give the impression to families that this is standard, and it’s not. There’s a lot of monkey see monkey do. If one family asks for the world for little pay, many families follow suit. The site sides with families and not the caregiver. The caregiver should have equal footing on this site. I realize negotiations are between the two parties, but you need to advocate a bit more for caregivers, we are paying customers too. We should be able to review families as well. The one sidedness allows families to feel they have the upper hand. Amicable relationships are the successful ones. How about asking the families what benefits they offer... check the appropriate boxes. Paid vacation, insurance, paid sick time/ time off. Just my two cents.
