The regulatory ecosystem around child care is much better and the baseline of quality control is much greater.

  That's not true. The regulatory system surrounds day care centers, which is not care.com's business. care.com's business is in 1:1 care (nanny) where there is not regulation or quality control, except a bit of tax control.

    > where there is not regulation or quality control In my state, you need to be licensed to provide child care. It looks like California and a few other states are similar.

      https://www.berkeleyparentsnetwork.org/advice/childcare/license https://www.berkeleyparentsnetwork.org/advice/childcare/lice... It seems to depend on how many children are being looked after and where the care takes place.

        Yeah, California law seems more lax in that regard.
