Care.com is an online marketplace dedicated to connecting families with caregivers across a wide range of services, including child care, senior care, pet care, tutoring, and housekeeping. Founded in 2006 by Sheila Lirio Marcelo, the platform was developed to address the challenges families face in finding reliable care. Since its inception, Care.com has grown significantly, operating in more than 17 countries and catering to millions of families. The platform not only serves as a resource for individuals seeking care but also provides employment opportunities for caregivers looking for jobs.

With a focus on technology and innovation, Care.com has created a versatile digital platform that allows families to post their needs and review caregiver profiles based on specific criteria, such as experience, rates, and reviews. Additionally, the site offers tools for families to conduct background checks and access resources that can help them make informed decisions. Care.com also caters to businesses through its Care@Work initiative, which allows employers to offer care benefits to their employees, promoting productivity and retention. As of 2023, the company is led by CEO Brad E. Wilson and has become a significant player in the caregiving industry.
