How I went from 5 Stars on CARE.COM to BANNED FOR LIFE
This post is about five years and a ton of lives lost in the making. It all started in 2016 when I ended a ten year long career building pianos. I was told by by my wife about Care.com, she said it was an excellent choice to find good work as long as you're up for the challenge of truly helping others.
I wasn't online for more than 24 hours when I got a call. I met my first couple. To my surprise my first client was in a nursing home still, I was told on hospice. They in all actuality were not on hospice. They were just receiving extremely poor care. After about a week of silence my client broke. They had asked me, "Can you get me home?" I exclaimed, "You talk!", fast forward three spectacular years of life, beating cancer at 93 years and dying in the comforts of your own home. This was the reality of my client, then many more came to have the same fate with my supervision and quality of care.
I had one client complete a new background check and all of the sudden care.com said I was no longer eligible due to my background check. A non violent DUI charge from 2010. They said it was up to STERLING, Thus is their chosen background check company. I made about 30 calls and finally got to the corporate office of STERLING whom said it was not their doing, but it was CARE.COM decision to ban me.
I was told the complete opposite by CARE.COM, so who is the one lying. Guess what, it was CARE.COM, a company who's founder is from the Philippines and graduated Harvard. In many speeches she has claimed that it is not your past that defines your future. But CLEARLY this is hyperbole used to make them sleep good at night.
"The company raised $111 million in venture funding before going public on January 24, 2014. In February 2020, Care.com was acquired by IAC and is no longer publicly traded." The green and stench of this company is making a killing off of the blood, sweat, and tears of the working class.
Nowhere in the terms when we signed up back in 2016 did it say husband and wife whom we work as a team on al, other things could not use the app to work together. After all their premium membership is costly and has fake populated users to act like there are real jobs. I proved this by messaging some and looking deeper into the reply.
The companies platform is good, but the morals behind good people is crap. Sadly after 5 years of neglect I had to write about how corporate green has sadly prevented me from helping families that could truly use reliable help.
But having a DUI and a past is something CARE.COM has discriminated against. It has been 11 years and I am sober. I have my driving ability back and my gun rights, if I was a threat to society I do not think either of these would be given to me. Sadly CARE.COM is a good source of work, but they have chosen to systematically keep some poor.
I am deeply disturbed at this company and how wealthy the people who run it are. They need an audit and should be ashamed.
Sincerely
One American Worker.
