On the contrary- I find care.com extremely shady! I wouldn't feel bad going around them getting paid at all. When I signed up with my info once (like 8 years ago maybe different now), all the responses I was getting were clearly fake. There would be the same descriptions of families for jobs in different far away cities/areas. Sometimes there'd be different writing with the same family's pictures, sometimes there's be the same exact writing (that the alleged hiring family wrote) but they'd be in a different city or with different family photos. Super shady. My guess is that they fill it out more with fake jobs and profiles to make it seem more useful- as if there were a lot of people using it when there were really much, much less.
