J R.

And the best value by far! Been ordering online for some years and I think only once was there an item missing. No real complaints and I will complain!

For starters (this was years ago, but has rankled me EVERY time I see their ads) - the R. I. branch had an outgoing message to potential caregivers stating, in essence, that we were basically unskilled, thus could only expect their paltry $7.00 an hour.

I thought, what the heck, let's see what it's like, they hired me for an adversarial Alzheimers dementia client who HATED me being there. I went twice and called the agency before I was needed the third time and said I wasn't coming. I could have said I was sick and lied about it, but I chose to tell the truth, that I felt forced to find another job.

The message didn't get to the family and the man was left alone. The owner called, yelled at me and hung up when it was THEIR error!

Then I see on a local afternoon television show with a spot about Home Instead and the reps. Are stating how they train all caregivers in Alzheimers care - I received NO training whatsoever! Bad experience across the board.

I agree 100% with all the reviews on this site! Scroll down, ditto, ditto, ditto!
So, what's going on here? I have become very savvy to the way these crooks work over the months. Other premium members, too are voicing the SAME complaint - applying for jobs that are supposedly "delivered" yet the care-seekers aren't reading them?! I don't think they're getting them at ALL or I'll be generous and say the BULK of care seekers are not getting them OR the ads are BOGUS as others are saying so there are no REAL people behind the ads to read them. Bots are being used. I will apply within minutes and I mean MINUTES of the ads appearing and STILL they don't "read" them? IS this an IT problem or some oh so very suspicious machinations? The latter without a doubt! They are money-grubbing, unconscionable and provide the WORST customer service I have ever experienced!
And the automatic withdrawal system? I am set to be downgraded to basic from premium and it has me more than worried from all I've read. I have sent many a message to them to make sure this is done. We shall see... I may be back on here again! Another thing: they do not even have a legitimate phone number listed! I've called two different numbers and it rings and rings with no answer then cuts off! Read about the owner, too. How she interviewed the Sittercity execs like she was going to invest and stole ideas from them to start her own company!
