Care.com Listings Scraper

🧑‍🍼 Care.com Listings Scraper

Easily extract caregiver listings and full profiles from Care.com — the largest US marketplace for babysitters, nannies, senior care, pet care, housekeepers, and tutors. The Care.com Listings Scraper turns any Care.com search or city page into clean, structured data for recruitment, market research, and competitive analysis.

Run it on the Apify platform to get API access, scheduling, integrations (Make, Zapier, Google Sheets), automatic proxy rotation, and run monitoring out of the box.

✨ Features

• 👶 All caregiver categories – Babysitters, nannies, senior care, pet care, housekeepers, and tutors.
• 🏷️ Rich listing data – Names, photos, city/state, age, years of experience, ratings, number of reviews, hourly rates, background-check status, bios, qualifications, and supported services.
• 🔎 Optional deep profiles – Toggle on full-profile enrichment to also collect education, languages, weekly availability, multi-dimensional ratings, all reviews, and service details.
• 🗺️ Flexible inputs – Start from caregiver listing pages, "all cities" index pages (to sweep an entire state), or individual profile URLs.
• 📄 Automatic pagination – Follows result pages until your maxItems budget is reached.
• ♻️ Built-in de-duplication – Caregivers appearing across overlapping city pages are collected only once.

💰 How Much Does It Cost to Scrape Care.com?

This Actor uses a pay-per-result pricing model, so you only pay for the data you collect:

Event	Price (USD)
Actor start	$0.01
Caregiver listing record	$0.005
Full caregiver profile	$0.02

Listing mode keeps discovery cheap, while the optional full-profile tier reflects the much richer data it returns. For example, collecting 1,000 caregiver listings costs about $5.

⚡ Tips

• Use a city listing URL (e.g. https://www.care.com/babysitters/new-york-ny) and the scraper will paginate automatically until it hits maxItems.
• Use an "all cities" URL (e.g. https://www.care.com/babysitters/all-cities/ny) to sweep an entire state.
• Keep Scrape full profile details off when you only need rates, ratings, and experience — it's faster and cheaper.
• Raise maxItems gradually to control cost on large areas.

❓ FAQ

Is scraping Care.com legal? This Actor only collects publicly available data. You are responsible for how you use the collected data and for complying with Care.com's Terms of Service and applicable laws (including data-protection regulations such as GDPR and CCPA).

Can it return phone numbers or email addresses? No. Direct contact details are gated behind a paid Care.com membership and are not publicly available, so they cannot be collected. This Actor is built for caregiver discovery and market intelligence (rates, experience, ratings, availability, qualifications).

Which categories are supported? Babysitters, nannies, senior care, pet care, housekeepers, and tutors — anything reachable via Care.com's public city and category pages.
