Anyone had experience with them?  I saw a commercial and we've been having major issues with schedules lately so having a few good babysitters is becoming more important.  So far I've been impressed!

    Yes, love that site.  We have a babysitter for Allison that drops her off at Kindergarten. (we have an odd schedule) and a different one for when all 3 are out of school.  We love them both!

    It really is a great site. I found a nursing student on there to watch Nora and Miles when I was still briefly working weekend mornings.

    Background checks, all that is already done and most of them are former nannies with a TON of experience. The student I hired had even had experience nannying kids with Down syndrome so it was a great fit.

    I know I can call her now if I ever need a babysitter, which is cool.

    Hello everyone at The Bump! I am a MemberCare representative from Care.com and I am so happy to see that you all love the website! As the different comments reflect, we do take safety very seriously at Care.com by giving members the tools to make the safest choice.

    Regarding the background checks, Premium Members can request unlimited free standard background checks on the caregivers they are in contact with and it is all done through Care.com. Standard background checks typically take about one day after a caregiver accepts your request and grants you access to view the results. Background checks are performed using on information the caregiver provides on Care.com and includes the following:

    Social Security Number verification, National criminal database search, and a State sex offender registries search (all 50 states.) Since each state has different regulations on what they report, we also recommend members run Enhanced Background Checks on their top candidates. For more information about the Standard Background Check, the Enhanced Background Check, or the other safety measures we take, you can visit our safety matters page: https://www.care.com/safety-matters-p1273.html. 

    We are so glad that Care.com is helping you with your family?s needs and truly value your membership with us. Thank you!

    -Monica, Care.com Member Care Representative
