Discriminatory and Disrespectful..
I signed up for Care.com about a month ago. While waiting for my background check to process, I was contacted by Care.com today, 4/05/2020. They informed me that my account was placed on suspension and then ultimately terminated due to "concerns" regarding my background check. I had no knowledge of my account being suspended but, they insisted that they had reached out to me 2 weeks prior. Well, come to find out, this so-called "reach out" consisted of an email that was so heavily marked with spam it found it's way to the bottom of my junk folder. In it, they explained that again, my account was on hold and suspended due to "concerns." Because I never saw this email I wasn't able to contact them and inquire about these so-called "concerns." However, I can guess what they were (a point on my driving record) In my defense, I initially signed up to walk dogs and occasionally babysit. I had no intention of ever transporting humans or animals in my car. I also opted out of that option on the website itself. So, I'm extremely confused as to why my driving record even matters at this point. Anyway, they made it seem like I was some kind of criminal that was unfit for their so-called "community." They even went so far as to say that I was a threat to not only care seekers but caretakers' safety as well. The utter discrimination that I felt in that email was insulting, not to mention embarrassing. I emailed them back and reiterated my frustrations as well as my confusion for the entire ordeal to no avail. They didn't "care." Pun completely intended. Don't waste your time or your money on this company. It's definitely not worth the headache.
