Finding a babysitter seems like it would be easy, but it is actually one of the most important decisions you will be making. Deciding who will care for your children should be a well thought out decision not one that is done in haste. CareSquare.com is a site that helps connect parents and caregivers so that parents can feel confident that their children are in good hands. Both parents and caregivers create a profile on CareSquare.com. Once a parent has created a profile they can network with other parents and rate the caregiver. Caregivers can list their experiences, shills and availability so that parents can find the best match for their situation. Once a parent has found a caregiver that they are interested in talking to they can contact them directly by calling or emailing the caregiver. Parents can then rate and add comments about the caregiver on his/her profile so that others can see what they said. CareSquare.com also features a job board so caregivers can browse through job listings. CareSquare.com has a facebook application as well. Find a caregiver you can trust at CareSquare.com.
“CareSquare is dedicated to connecting parents and caregivers in their local communities. CareSquare was created by parents of young children who understand the personal and complex process of finding trusted babysitting and nanny care. We're here to help families and caregivers easily contact, schedule and book childcare.”
CareSquare.com has an attractive interface. It is a great concept because there is a great demand for child care. The network will make parents more comfortable and they will get advice from people they trust. Having a facebook application is a good way to expand your contacts and audience. The job board is also another useful feature.
The FAQ section could use a bit of work. It would be great if the profiles could feature video media so that parents and caregivers could learn more about each others personalities.
