Care.com is a website that connects caregivers and parents. It offers pet care, senior care, and child-care services online. Free registration is possible to search for caregivers in your local area. Alternatively, you can pay for a premium membership. To find a caregiver for you, you will need to fill out a profile. You will then receive job alerts. For $48/year or $9/month, premium members can sign up. You can set your own rates and contact candidates to improve your profile. You will also get a background check. You can expect to pay $15-$47, depending on the extent of your background check.
Care.com takes no commissions from workers' salaries. The site also requires you to be at least 18 years of age, a legal resident of your state, and able to provide a valid photo ID. In addition, the site will run a background check on you every year for $15-$17.
The Care app is available on both Android and iOS. It lets you search for jobs, accept or decline job offers, and even send them to your phone. However, many Care users complain that the app is unreliable and buggy. You can't even chat with candidates. You can also search for caregivers by address, which is a good option, but you will also need to redo the address every few months.
