DOG SITTER/BABYSITTER (Former Employee) – Las Vegas, NV – August 17, 2018
Friendly and fun environment. When I worked as a babysitter/dog-sitter, I had a lot of fun doing what I did. The owners of the animals always left detailed instructions on the counters as well as in text messages. Same for when caring for the children, parents left instructions whether it be simply watching children for a hour or a whole day.
Pros
Teaching
Cons
Yelling
Ideal job for college student
NANNY (Current Employee) – Denver, CO – August 17, 2018
I've found the nicest families using Care.com and have built relationships that will last a lifetime. Work, for me at least, was always a blast. Nannying/babysitting is ideal for the college student because for the most part it isn't stressful, you are essentially your own boss, good pay, and depending on the family you can work on your homework.
Pros
Fun, keeps you busy, build relationships with families, flexible
Fun place to work at.

Hard to get a job.
Great Nannying Company
Nanny (Former Employee) – Knoxville, TN – August 13, 2018
A lot of job options and you can work around your schedule. You can pick and choose your salary, days and times, the area you want to work in, and you can get paid on the app itself to make it easier.
I love it

Great for temporary Situations/Experience
Nanny (Full-time) (Current Employee) – Kutztown, PA – August 9, 2018
I was doing way more work than i was being paid for. No room to advance in career. Overall i liked my job, but it was mainly just as a temporary situation to build experience to be hired in a day care.
Pros

Kicked off care.com wanting to work again after baby!
Babysitter (Former Employee) – Hershey, PA – August 8, 2018
Quit my home care job to drive for school. Then had a baby. I wanted to start babysitting again. Care.com com kicked me off for unknown reasons. As I have a clean record! I tried to call but I got told to call another # and they said o had 10 days. Very frustrating. I know they have been sued in past so I assume they are a different company. Oh well maybe its a sign that I'm busy enough with my own kiddos.
Pros
Meet local families
Cons
bad clients that dont pay
It was fun!

Cons

Bad
Nanny/Babysitter (Current Employee) – St. Louis, MO – August 8, 2018
Lots of scams and no protection for babysitters and nannies. I received a minimum of 5 scams in just one week wanting to interview me for a job. They all sent me the same message, just different people, and care.com would shut it down an hour later. As a young girl, I was immediately put off and canceled.

Babysitter (Former Employee) – Culpeper, VA – August 3, 2018
Care.com isn't a building to work in. It is a website that is very slow and competitive. After the family I worked for moved, I had a very hard time finding a new job.
Pros
Communication
Cons
Slow Paced
Educational experience working with children with different abilities
Nanny (Current Employee) – DeKalb, IL – August 3, 2018
Working with young children with mental and physical disabilities was challenging as much as it was rewarding and fun. The kids taught me a lot about how to be patient, a good listener, and how to manage stressful situations. I also learned quite a lot about behavior modification, sensitivity, and child development.
Awesome family
Nanny/Housekeeper (Current Employee) – Phoenix, AZ – August 1, 2018
Care.com is a website were you can become a nanny, pet sitter, date night sitter or etc. Families make a profile as well as the person looking to find an awesome fam/job. I am a nanny, I love my job. I have a side job with another family I found on Care.com. I would recommend this site to anyone. You create a close bond and become part of the family.

Self-Employement
Nanny (Former Employee) – Santa Clarita, CA – July 30, 2018
I applied for nanny positions to families on my own and used Care.com to connect to those families. It was an easy website to navigate and communicate on. I have been successful receiving and retaining nanny positions while using Care.com. Care.com send me educational and helpful emails once or twice a week with valuable information that I appreciate.
Pros
