I would guess somewhere in the ball park of $35/month, that's what they charge for nannies premium memberships, so I'm guessing its similar.
I'm the nanny who thought care.com was free - WHOA! $35/month is bordering on a scam. Every nanny I know who advertises on care.com also advertises on Sittercity (which I use and am 99% certain is free for all parties?) and most advertise on CL, on bulletin boards, and through neighborhood listservs too. I definitely don't envy parents the hunt for a great nanny.
Sittercity is only free for parents as a 7-day trial.
