[quote=nannydebsays]Care.com is a clearinghouse for people seeking care and people seeking work. I like to think of it as a sort of dating site, like Match, for parents and caregivers. Care is not an agency. They don't offer actual match making services, they offer minimal advice to parents or caregivers. I believe most parents on Care UNDERvalue the cost of the service they are seeking, and most caregivers on Care OVERvalue their worth. That makes for a lot of unhappy people. So, caregivers (with and without any actual paid experience) ask for the moon and the stars, while parents (who are also equally ignorant when it comes to reality based rates) offer $5 per hour or less. That said, if you have the patience to weed through responses to your ad AND you have a very well written ad, you can find someone on Care to fit your needs. But it takes work. ;-)[/quote]
