Care.com Review: Free Background Checks
Care.com is an online service that matches care & service providers in the areas of child care, tutoring, pet care, personal assistant services and senior care to the people who need their help.
By joining Care.com as a paid premium member, subscribers receive full access to the service including caregiver contact details, background checks and references. They can also post jobs detailing their specific care needs. All premium members have access to caregiver alert emails and weekly member newsletter filled with expert tips and advice.
Features which distinguish care.com from their competitors:
- Care on Call: Broadcast a message to caregivers near you in seconds
- Free Background Check
- Care Club: Online shopping mall rewards program that offers discounts and Cash Back rewards to Care.com members when they shop at participating online retailers in Care.com’s Care Club
Unlike other websites, they have 2 interesting categories of sitters: special needs and care gig provider. A care gig provider will assist you with running various “gigs” from parties & events, shopping, moving services to general errands and even vacation services.
Care.com also offers money back guarantee. If a subscriber creates a job posting, and doesn’t hear back from one of the hundreds of thousands of caregivers listed on Care.com within three days, then the subscriber can close the account and receive a full refund of any membership fee paid.
