 We used care.com to hire our nanny last year, and I
 thought it was definitely worth it for that purpose. I
 spent more time weeding through applicants than I would
 have if I used an agency, but all of the people we
 ultimately interviewed were very qualified and also
 worked with agencies. We ended up saving thousands of
 dollars on the agency fee that we would have paid to
 hire our nanny if we went the other route. In short,
 there are definitely quality care givers on care.com,
 but you have to spend a bit of time to weed out those
 who fall short of your criteria.Since our nanny also
 babysits for us, I have not used care.com for sitters
 or other help, so I don't know whether an on-going
 membership for that purpose is worth it.

 We LOVE care.com!! We found two excellent nannies, and
 about 6 different babysitters we've used. All
 wonderful, trusting care givers. The thing to know is
 that you need to remember to go in and cancel your
 subscription or it auto-renews on your credit card at
 the rate of about $60 per 3 months. I didn't realize
 this until over a year! We posted nanny jobs and got
 50-60 applicants, then narrowed them down first by
 where they lived (too long of commute time) and then by
 who had background checks completed, then by how we
 felt about their bio, experience, etc. We would
 interview 4-5 people and the choice was always clear
 each time we went through the process. I continue to
 use care.com and have had only positive experiences. 
 If you want to read our standing bio, we're under
 "Holly B" in Truckee, CA. If you would like an example
 of an ad we posted I'd be happy to email one to you. 
 Good luck!

 Point of consideration.you may want to consider
 ordering fewer diapers than the recommended. With
 tinytots you prepay the first month, so if it ends up
 not being right for your situation, you end up being
 out double.
