Free vs Premium - know what you're canceling

Care.com has a free account (limited search, can't message caregivers) and a Premium membership ($39–$156/year depending on plan). Canceling Premium reverts you to the free tier - you keep your profile and reviews but lose the ability to contact caregivers.

Cancel after you've found your caregiver

Most families find a caregiver within a few weeks. You can cancel Premium immediately after hiring - you don't need a subscription to maintain a relationship with a caregiver you've already connected with.

Frequently asked questions

Does canceling Care.com Premium affect my caregiver's account?
No. Your caregiver has their own separate account. The employment relationship is independent of your Care.com Premium status.
Can I get a refund on Care.com if I never found a caregiver?
Care.com doesn't offer automatic refunds for unused memberships. Contact support and explain the situation - they sometimes provide partial credits or refunds for members who were unable to find a match.
Does Care.com auto-renew?
Yes. Care.com Premium subscriptions auto-renew monthly or annually. Turn off auto-renew in Account Settings, or cancel outright to stop future charges.
