- When we were doing our research we found that Care.com did not only show us results when looking for a housekeeper, but also for child care, tutors, special needs care, senior care, pet care, and finally housekeeping needs. It was overwhelming.
- Care.com had their filters in the upper right hand corner, Housekeeper.com has them to the left of the screen.
- Care.com does not offer many filters to choose from such as specific tasks like bathroom cleaning, oven cleaning, window washing, etc. (Housekeeper.com does).
- If you are viewing a housekeeper on Housekeeper.com, we generate a list of similar housekeepers in your area, which we show on the right hand side of the screen. No need to go back to the search page!
- Care.com does not have a Help Centre that we could access. We do have one with an extensive array of articles.
- Housekeeper.com has taken the time to research, condense, and break down the best COVID-19 hiring protocol, cleaning practices, and many more.
There are other avenues in which you can find a housekeeper, but after extensive research we found them to be limiting and impersonable:
