I had the most amazing co workers. The culture of this company was the biggest pro. I’ve made some incredible friends! College Nannies/Jovie decided to fire all of my old co workers and hire people from the Philippines & South Africa to work there my co workers position for $5 an hour. Unethical, horrible, greedy, and a VERY poor business decision. I know the families who give this company their business will eventually leave the company when they catch wind of these things and take their money else where.
Cons
Everything I stated above is a con. Owners of the franchise I worked for seemed like such a sweet midwestern family.. it’s all a cover for their petty nasty business scheme. Karma will bite them one of these days. Looking forward to it!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We're happy to hear you loved the culture and made incredible friends! However, we're sorry your experience with us was less than stellar and we'd like to learn more. Please send us a message at marketing@jovie.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
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!
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.
