      Pros

      Staff were nice, subject-level tutoring seemed to work well.

      Cons

      Not enough time to effectively tutor for the SAT/ACT. Sold "packages" to families that consisted of X number of hours, rather than signing them on for a "course" of tutoring. Promised parents score improvements of 150-300 points on the SAT, but also let them only sign their students up for 1 hour of tutoring per week. Then tutors were blamed for a lack of improvement. Management threatened to not pay for worked hours if hours were logged late (not legal).

      Pros

      I've worked with Jovie Newport Beach since 2022. I started as an on-call nanny and worked my way up into administration. I am now in charge of recruitment, event coordination, and general management. I love the company culture and encourage families to use our services and for potential nannies to apply! I have met many great people through the Jovie network! It has been great!

      Cons

      I can't think of any cons!

      Pros

      Help find you a family to work with. I could see how this could perhaps be great for part time

      Cons

      LOW PAY for the job. After 3 years with Jovie, I was getting paid $16/hr and my full-time family was paying somewhere from $26-28/hr. They told my nanny family I was getting higher raises than I was. MUCH fairer companies out there. No PTO due to "not being salaried employees" even though that's not how PTO works! Constantly nagged about logging in my hours even though I was always on top of it. Going through them was a pain. Don't recommend. Always wondered if why they rebranded from College Nannies and Sitters was to try to separate from all the negative reviews.
