s/o housekeeping

Would you use someone from care.com? Is there anything bad about the site? I don't know anyone IRL that has a housekeeper that I can ask for references, than I'm aware of. H's grandad did and H thought about trying to get in touch with her but our house is about 40 minutes from his grandad's.

It's no worse than any other way of finding someone outside of direct personal reference. They can run background checks so that is a positive. You still have to do your due diligance with the hiring process just like any other source.

We found a babysitter there who did turn out to be not so great, but that isn't the fault of the site at all. In fact, if I had run her name through my boss' wife, we would have learned about it before it was too late.
