Pros

Flexible hours, great families long term

Cons

Extremely unprofessional management, Condescending to staff, app has many issues and often books your hours months in advance, even when you don’t mean to. ****Pay is barely over minimum wage. Families pay on average $25 an hour for your services, and CN+T pays from 12-15$ an hour. They are taking over $10 an hour of your hard work.**** just put a profile up on care.com. Stop letting this company take the money you worked really hard for.

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.
