      Pros

      The only reason you should work here is if you literally have no other option. Unless you are about to be evicted onto the streets, don't work here.

      Cons

      -Text messages as early as 6am and as late as midnight all day every day, and you have to respond within 15 mins. Completely takes over your life-- and you're not compensated for that. -They charge clients extra for multiple children, but your pay rate stays the same regardless of the number of children. -Wage Theft: Policy is that you need to show up 10-15 minutes early and if the parent is late, stay for up to an extra 15 minutes without compensation. -Management "restructured" the pay scale, essentially cutting pay, and tried to convince us that we were getting the better end of the deal. -Their caseload doubled, and instead of hiring more people, they worked us even more. And tried to guilt us and manipulate us when we said no. -Driving long distances at God awful hours, often working 10 hr shifts with no overtime. -No professional development or trainings beyond orientation.

      It's unfortunate to hear about the negative experience you recently had with our Atlanta office. Each CNT office is owned and operated by local franchisees, with ongoing support from the corporate development team. As we suggest and encourage our local teams to follow the brand structure and resources we have in place, it is essentially up to them how they choose to utilize these resources. That being said, it is in the nature of our on-call nanny services that there may be requests for on-call placements throughout the day. Backup care requires quick responses by nannies to fill the order, occasionally at odd hours of the day. If a nanny placement is more fitting for your schedule or desired flexibility, we offer nanny placements as well. We appreciate your feedback, and wish you luck in the future!

      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.
