Is care.com free?

Anonymous
I posted a job and it’s asking me to subscribe to see the applicants. I thought others had used it for free in the past, am I wrong?

Yes. To actually contact people, you have to pay at least once.

Definitely not free to contact people. It's been terrible in my area (i think in part because they require candidates to pay as well) so I don't think I'll ever pay them again.

care used to be free to the caregivers, but now they have to pay. It's never been free for employers.

Nannies have to pay as well which deters a LOT of candidates

I stopped using it when they required me (a nanny) to pay. It makes sense that employers would pay a fee. I go by word of mouth or through an agency now.

I have found sitters on here repeatedly. I hate how pricey it is but use it when I do not have a referral option. Only for long term sitters though. Would not waste the money on just date night sitter needs
