Care.com is a website which helps caregivers connect with their caregivers. You can find senior care, pet care, and child care online through Care.com. You can create an account for free and search for caregivers in your area. Or, you can purchase a premium account. If you are interested to find a caregiver, fill out a profile. You will then receive job alerts. If you decide to sign up for a premium membership, you can choose to pay $48 a year or $9 a month. You can set your own rates and contact candidates to improve your profile. A background check is also included. The cost of the background check will vary depending on its depth.
Care.com doesn't take commissions out of workers' wages. 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. The site will also run a background check every year on you for $15-$17.
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. Care users are complaining that the app is unstable and slow. It also doesn't allow you to chat with candidates. It is possible to search for caregivers by their address. However, you will need to update the address every few years.
