Care.com Scraper | Caregivers, Day Care & Jobs

Care.com scraper (also searched as Care.com API, nanny scraper, babysitter scraper, daycare scraper) for public Care.com US pages — city caregiver lists, day-care businesses, jobs, and About/contact. Export names, ZIP/street, Twilio/tel: phones, and support emails to CSV, Excel, or JSON. Guest HTML only.

This Actor is built for no-code operators first: pick a vertical, enter a city-st slug (for example denver-co), set maxResults, click Start, and download the Dataset. Developers can call the same Actor from the Apify API, Make, n8n, Zapier, LangChain, or a scheduled task.

Thin Apify Actor + managed worker. The worker owns residential egress. You do not send cookies, Join/Apply POSTs, or proxyUrl. This Actor does not hit /search (that path is 404) and does not turn a homepage ZIP into enrollment.

---

What does the Care.com Scraper do?

The Care.com Scraper collects guest-visible listings and contact fields that a logged-out visitor can already see on www.care.com.

Give it a vertical + location (city-st slug), or a live /p/ /b/l/ /job/ URL. The Actor:

1. Validates the input (searchType, vertical, location)
2. Calls a managed worker that fetches Care.com GSSP HTML / JSON-LD
3. Parses opened surfaces into Dataset rows (name, phones, emails, address, person/org)
4. Optionally enriches caregiver /p/ (ZIP) and business /b/l/ (tel: + street)
5. Dedupes and caps output with maxResults / maxPages
6. Writes INPUT_ECHO, RUN_SUMMARY, and (on failure) ERROR_SUMMARY to the key-value store

Opened surfaces (what actually works)

Mode (searchType)	What you scrape	Required input
listings	City SEO list /{vertical}/{city-st}	vertical + location (denver-co). Pagination is -pageN, not ?page=
caregiver	Profile /p/{username}/{code}	detailUrls or username + verticalCode. Phones gated (Join to contact)
business	Day-care /b/l/{slug}/{city-st}	detailUrls or businessSlug + location. tel: + JSON-LD street
jobs	Jobs hub (/jobs, /babysitting-jobs, …)	Optional vertical. City is IP-pinned
job	Job detail /job/{vertical}/{st}/{city}/{id}-{slug}	detailUrls. Poster is anonymous
about	Homepage JSON-LD + privacy + press + HomePay	None. HQ phone, support/press emails, Dallas street; HomePay Austin
all-states	/{vertical}/all-states then follow city lists	vertical. Caps hub fetches
all-cities	/{vertical}/all-cities/{st} then follow city lists	vertical + state (or city-st; state is taken from the slug)
all-services	/all-services/{city-st} then follow long-tail listings	location city-st or two-letter state

Opened people verticals: babysitters, nannies, housekeepers, tutors, senior-care, pet-sitters, overnight-babysitters, special-needs. Opened business: day-care, preschools, nanny-agencies, family-day-care, child-care-centers (list cards often carry Twilio phone + street).

enrichDetails defaults on. Brand-only /b/{slug} URLs (no /b/l/) are skipped — those 404.

Honest limits (read this before you buy a competitor)

• No /search and no ZIP search. https://www.care.com/search is 404. Homepage ZIP starts enrollment, not a query. Use city-st slugs (miami-fl, seattle-wa).
• No Join / Apply / LeadGen / GraphQL POST. Guest GSSP + HTML/JSON-LD only.
• Caregiver phones and emails are gated. Rows still include ZIP + leadAbsences (闸门锁 / Join to contact). Do not expect a guest tel: on /p/ pages.
• Day-care and About do expose phones + street on guest pages. Those are the lead-complete surfaces.
• UK / CA / AU locale shells (/en-gb/, /en-ca/, /en-au/) measured 0 public /p/ cards (London). Not care.co.uk / care.ca / care.com.au.
• Jobs posters are anonymous. No phone; ZIP may appear in the title.
• Filter Apply does not change the URL. Pagination is path -pageN.

Other Store Actors may add review text, CPR flags, or rate ranges. This one is the lead-complete Care.com option: facility tel: + street, caregiver ZIP, About/HomePay contacts, jobs hubs, and state/city taxonomy follow — at $3.00 / 1,000 results with developer-paid platform usage.

What Care.com data can I extract?

Field	Example / notes
name / person.name	Caregiver display name or business name
kind	caregiver, business, job, company
url	Live https://www.care.com/... link
phones	{ value, type } — Twilio / tel: on day-care and About; empty + leadAbsences on caregivers
emails	{ value, type } — support@ / press@ / privacy@ / info@myhomepay.com on About
address	{ street, unit, locality, region, postalCode, country, full } — ZIP on /p/; street on day-care + privacy + HomePay
org	Business / Care.com / HomePay
leadSource / leadReveal / leadAbsences	How the contact was (or was not) obtained

You do not get: unlocked caregiver mobile numbers behind Join, GraphQL private fields, or login sessions.

Output example (caregiver — phones gated, ZIP present)

{
  "kind": "caregiver",
  "name": "Ana O.",
  "url": "https://www.care.com/p/...",
  "phones": [],
  "emails": [],
  "address": { "postalCode": "80227", "locality": "Denver", "region": "CO" },
  "person": { "name": "Ana O." },
  "leadAbsences": {
    "phones": "闸门锁（Join to contact；DOM 无 show-phone / reveal XHR）",
    "emails": "闸门锁（guest 档案无 mailto）"
  }
}

Day-care list cards include Twilio numbers and street on the same guest HTML.

Why scrape Care.com?

Care.com is the large US marketplace for in-home care (child, senior, pet, housekeeping) and local day-care businesses. Use this Actor when you need a spreadsheet of public profiles and facility contacts without paging the site by hand.

Common jobs:

• Babysitter / nanny lists — city SEO lists with display name + ZIP after enrich
• Day-care lead gen — facility phones and street addresses (day-care, preschools, nanny-agencies)
• Housekeeper / tutor / senior-care / pet-sitter catalogs by city-st slug
• Care.com HQ / support / press / HomePay contacts from About
• Public job posts (anonymous posters; ZIP often in the title)
• Automation — feed CRM, staffing ops, or an AI agent via CSV / JSON / the Apify Dataset API

Why not a Care.com “search” Actor? There is no public /search. ZIP on the homepage is enrollment. This Actor uses the real SEO URLs Care.com publishes.

How this Care.com scraper compares

How to scrape Care.com (no code required)

1. Open Care.com Scraper in Apify Console (Actor lentic_clockss/care-scraper).
2. Set Search type — start with listings (or about / jobs / all-services).
3. Pick a vertical (babysitters, nannies, day-care, housekeepers, …).
4. Enter a city-st location (seattle-wa, miami-fl). Not a ZIP. Not a keyword.
5. Keep enrichDetails on if you need ZIP on people or tel: on /b/l/.
6. Set maxResults to 3–15 for a first run.
7. Click Start. When the run finishes, open the Dataset tab.
8. Download CSV, Excel, or JSON.

For About contacts (including HomePay), set searchType=about. For jobs, searchType=jobs. For state/city directories, all-states / all-cities / all-services.

Example: scrape Care.com babysitters in a US city

{
  "searchType": "listings",
  "vertical": "babysitters",
  "location": "seattle-wa",
  "enrichDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 5
}

Example: scrape Care.com day-care phones and streets

{
  "searchType": "listings",
  "vertical": "day-care",
  "location": "houston-tx",
  "enrichDetails": true,
  "maxResults": 5
}

Example: Care.com About / HomePay contacts

{
  "searchType": "about",
  "maxResults": 5
}

Empty {} is a valid run (schema default: housekeepers in chicago-il) so the Actor SUCCEEDED without required fields.

FAQ

How do I scrape Care.com without a keyword search? Use searchType=listings plus a vertical and a city-st slug. Care.com has no public /search.

Do I get caregiver phone numbers? Not on guest /p/ pages. Those rows include ZIP and leadAbsences (Join to contact). Facility pages (day-care, /b/l/) and About/HomePay do expose tel: / Twilio numbers.

Is scraping Care.com legal? You are responsible for how you use the data. This Actor only collects public guest-visible HTML/JSON-LD, does not log in, and does not POST Join/Apply. Follow Care.com Terms and your own compliance review. Unofficial — not affiliated with Care.com, Inc.

Do I need to bring proxies? No. Do not send proxyUrl.

Why did day-care in one city list another city? Jobs and some provider lists are IP-geo pinned. The rows are still live Care.com facilities with phones + street.

Can I use it from Make, n8n, Zapier, or LangChain? Yes. Actor ID lentic_clockss/care-scraper. See Connect to your tools.
