Pros

- Choose your availability - Flexible vacation leaves & considerate/understanding office staff - Kids are great

Cons

- Pay is too low for what service the company & the families expect. Pay is low compared to how much you could actually normally earn as a nanny/sitter. - No pay raise at all (I've worked there for over a year now) - Since you don't get paid so much, locations that are far, or assignments that are just for 3 hours don't feel worth doing or spending your time on

Pros

Flexibility in scheduling, feeling like I am appreciated and enjoying caring for families who value me as an employee.

Cons

I don’t have anything negative to say about this company. I have have been for over 12+ years. I think that sums it up.

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.
