      Pros

      The company lures in newcomers with immediate full time positions

      Cons

      The company lures in newcomers with immediate full time positions, but once those are over they will stick you with crappy part time jobs, weird hours, sometimes several hours away. It's very hard to find nanny placements, they want you to be stuck busting your butt working horrible back up care jobs. Management is horrible. They will contact you at any hour, including midnight. They will be aggressive about you turning down any assignments. This company will force you to burn out and want to leave the planet while simultaneously not making enough money to survive. I am having a mental breakdown and can't even afford groceries.

      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.
