[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, i found care.com to be really difficult to use well as an employer.  I had a carefully written ad that was very detailed in terms of compensation, benefits, hours, job specifics, etc...  I also tried hard to represent our approach/attitude/humor etc...

Care.com is structured to force your ads into predetermined categories - so you have to select bulk rate and other general criteria, whether or not their predetermined categories match what you're actually wanting to offer.  Then they edit your ads and, in my case, removed half of the stuff that was about the specifics of the job and what kind of family we are.  I argued with them for a couple of days (and several iterations of the ad) just to try to get back more of the language I wanted in there.

I found it incredibly annoying and I will never use the service again.[/quote]

I am a nanny and have gotten both of my jobs through care.com - but I always wondered about the wording on the ads.  Like a parent of a newborn saying that interest in arts and crafts is a plus or that the children love playing games (what children? - the ad was for the care of one newborn).

I never knew they edited the parents' ads!  [/quote]
