Care.com allows caregivers to connect with parents and caregivers, regardless of their gender. It provides online services such as senior care, pet and child care. Free registration is possible to search for caregivers in your local area. Alternatively, you can pay for a premium membership. If you are interested to find a caregiver, fill out a profile. The website will send you job alerts. You can pay $48 per year for a premium membership or $9 per month if you choose to upgrade. This membership lets you set your own rates, reach out to candidates and improve your profile. You will also receive a background screening. You can expect to pay $15-$47, depending on the extent of your background check.
Care.com does not pay commissions on workers' wages. There are a few things that you need to remember before using it. The site requires that you are at least 18 and a legal resident within your state. You also need to have a valid photo identification. For $15-$17, the site will perform a background search on you every year.
The Care app is available for Android and iOS devices and allows you to search for jobs and accept or decline job offers when you're not at your computer. Many Care users dislike the app for being slow and unstable. You cannot also chat with candidates. You can also search caregivers by location, but this is not a good option. However it does require that you update your address every few month.
