Pros

You can choose your own hours Paid quick

Cons

Management team had me driving 30 minutes one way and I told them I couldn't afford the drive. THIS IS BEFORE THE HIKE IN GAS PRICES. They discriminate older nannies. Was abused and had sand thrown in my face by a child. My eyes swelled up and unfortunately they forced me to stay. I told the parents that we need to part ways. They treat you like a baby saying well if you have to cancel that will be a strike.I had something personal and serious that need my attention. I had to take a personal day to which they said in a rude way well what is the reason to which I said, it is personal. Well, if you don't tell us you will have to get a strike. I said, that is fine because people need to take personal days and I am not willing to disclose.

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.
