Re: Has Anyone Ever Used the Care.com App for iOS / iPad OS?
If any person hires a stranger to handle confidential information without confirming that they are license and bonded, is simply asking for trouble. I have some concern about care.com based on the statement at the bottom of their web site which I pasted below. Care.com does not employ any care provider or care seeker nor is it responsible for the conduct of any care provider or care seeker. Care.com provides information and tools to help care seekers and care providers connect and make informed decisions. However, each individual is solely responsible for selecting an appropriate care provider or care seeker for themselves or their families and for complying with all applicable laws in connection with any employment relationship they establish. The information contained in member profiles, job posts and applications are supplied by care providers and care seekers themselves and is not information generated or verified by Care.com. Care.com does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment or engage in any conduct that requires a professional license. Richard "You know," said Arthur, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young." "Why, what did she tell you?" "I don't know, I didn't listen." -- Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy > On Jan 24, 2021, at 6:32 AM, M.

RE: Has Anyone Ever Used the Care.com App for iOS / iPad OS?
First, I am not going to attempt to change anyone's mind on anything. All I can say is that Care.com has been around for over 12 years, that I know of; they do extensive criminal background checks and provide references with contact phone numbers. I know of many people who have used them for finding baby-sitters, senior care, etc. As for letting people in one's home, I think many home owners do just that very thing when hiring contractors and various vendors to make repairs, install new systems, etc. Fear of the unknown should never be a barrier to gaining independence and exploring new options. There are risks in virtually every decision; that's life. Bad things happen, sometimes; all one can do is do the best one can to try and minimize the chances of bad things happening by performing due diligence. I know of some people, for example, who will not take a taxi or an Uber because they read about bad things that can happen to one while in an Uber or a taxi. As a result, they are shut-in and cut off from the outside world because they are too afraid to take a chance. So many of us who are visually impaired do not have family members or friends who can assist us; so what are we to do? Just sit within four walls and wait for life to find us? While I love the fact that we have access to the internet, etc; I some times wonder how much damage such access does to our mental health. Mainstream news focuses on bad news. For every 1 bad thing that happens in an Uber, there are countless times when nothing bad happens, but the news does not report that fact. The same can be said of any encounter between people and institutions. I purchased a home earlier this year, in a town in which I had no previous acquaintances. As a result, I have engaged the services of many people who I have met through various references. My experience has been absolutely incredible. Of course I have taken some precautions, for example, I keep all of my personal documents in a locked file cabinet, in a locked room. Other than that? Nothing. Now I can tell you that not one of the people who have entered my home has even attempted to do anything suspicious or untoward. As a result, they have introduced me to people they trust and, slowly, very slowly, I am building a network of support. I apologize for the long rant but I don't want anyone to be afraid of taking a chance on increasing their independence because of the negative comments of some and /or fear of the unknown.

Well she mentioned cleaning so I didn't know what you were looking for. But now that I know what you're looking for, something else you could use to, is next-door. And yes it is accessible. And they do just about anything in there. From look for people to do jobs to complain about noise or anything like that. > On Jan 21, 2021, at 11:14 PM, M.

RE: Has Anyone Ever Used the Care.com App for iOS / iPad OS?
Hello Jennifer, That is exactly why I want to use the service. Great minds think alike, eh? Thank you for the feedback; I will sign up, tomorrow.

Hi Mark. I have used it. It's doable... kind of a PITA. But everything was labeled when I used it. I downloaded the first one you mentioned. It was $39.99 for a year which was kind of steap imo.

Re: Has Anyone Ever Used the Care.com App for iOS / iPad OS?
Hi Mark, I haven't use the service but I've heard about it on a commercial. I wonder if you sign up using the iPhone and creating account, if it will allow you to log into that account on the website using the same subscription kind of like ESPN. That way you can not have to worry about giving him any billing information. I will be doing this with ESPN here in a couple of weeks I think. > On Jan 21, 2021, at 3:14 PM, M.

Has Anyone Ever Used the Care.com App for iOS / iPad OS?
Hello Everyone, Has anyone ever used the care.com app for either iOS or iPad OS? The reason I ask is because, there are in-app purchases, quite reasonable ones, actually, but before I spend the money, I would like to make certain that the app is VoiceOver accessible. Now in the App Store, there are two listings for the app but I believe the resulting download is the same. One app lists itself as being for those seeking baby-sitters; this is misleading because one can search for people who provide care for anything; for example to those who are blind or low vision, seniors, etc. the other is listed as being for those who wish to register to the service as being a care giver. Again, the same options appear in either of the downloads which is why I am almost positive that the two app listings are one-in-the-same. While the service can be accessed from www.care.com, I would prefer to register and purchase a subscription through the Apple App Store so as to be certain that I can easily terminate any subscription without any hassle. Also, I don't relish the idea of providing my billing info to yet another service unless it is absolutely necessary. As always, all replies greatly appreciated.
