Care.com

Parents know how hard it is to find a last-minute babysitter (or a replacement when your regular sitter cancels). Those days are over thanks to Care.com.

Go out to the movies this weekend. Go shopping. Catch up with old friends. Or find care you can trust while you're away on business or vacation.

Care.com connects families with trustworthy babysitters, nannies, dog walkers, tutors, and elder caregivers through a variety of family memberships to fit every budget. Read expert advice on care planning through our exclusive editorial content, including articles, resources, and Sheila's Blog, written by Founder and CEO Sheila Marcelo.

Search Care.com by your ZIP Code or metro area to find local caregivers who match your exact needs. Search results include profiles with photos, video interviews, experience, availability, and references, which you can view before contacting a caregiver about a job. Plus, families can request free background checks on any caregiver as part of their monthly membership-unlike anywhere else on the Web!

Once families have hired a caregiver, they can then share their experience with the Care.com community by rating the caregiver and leaving a review. All caregivers are then ranked using reviews, ratings, and other criteria, and will have a basic, Silver, or Gold status.

Care.com is simple to use—just Join, Find, and Connect! Locating safe and convenient care has never been easier.
