Care4Hire.com Overview & Review
Check out our review of our #1 rated service, Sittercity.com
Care4Hire.com, and sister service Nannies4Hire.com, were founded in 2008 by child care expert, Cyndi Wingate. While they’re latecomers to the online babysitter registry game, they’ve significantly increased their visibility by working with popular television shows such as The Dr Phil Show, Supernanny, and Jon & Kate Plus Eight.
What We Like About the Service
Care4Hire.com is a babysitter service built by a true child care professional. Cyndi Wingate started out her career as a nanny and has managed a full service nanny placement agency. She knows a thing or two about matching care givers with care seekers.
Care4Hire is the only one of the top three services that goes beyond the United States and services Canada. While there are some Canadian based services, Care4Hire is a welcome addition to this market.
Care4Hire offers the most affordable pricing. Their pricing and their promotional work with the television shows have been their ticket to growth.
What We Don’t Like About The Service
The child care expertise of the founder and staff of Care4Hire is unfortunately not integrated very well into the website and the service. The expert resources that are available are relatively generic and don’t really provide the benefit of the founder’s experience.
The website’s usability, design, and functionality are not at the level of either Sittercity or Care.com. Care4Hire.com is due for a significant re-design and upgrade to truly compete with the top two services.
Our Rating
We rate Care4Hire.com as the #3 service, a solid service brought to you by a child care expert. Care4Hire is a very good value for the money and a great choice for the budget-minded. The rather cumbersome website will require more time to use and doesn’t provide as many features and resources, but it will get the job done.
