      Pros

      -hiring process was swift and efficient -met a lot of families and engaged with diverse cultures -still keep in contact with a handful of families I met -learned a lot more about child care and taught parents a few tricks as well

      Cons

      -management switched from bright horizon to this -take the parent’s side without considering the context (worked with the company for going on 2 years and a strange lady whose home was filthy and whose husband sexually assaulted me accused me of stealing her remote. I had the remote by accident and was planning to return it but she wanted me to return it that day. I live far from her and didn’t even own a TV at the time. -wanted to meet in person in NJ for meetings that could be held over zoom. This wasn’t the case with the previous management but I’m not sure if that’s due to COVID or not -some families are difficult and weird (a dad sent me a sexual message asking if I’d sleep with him, man sexually assaulted me, a grandma woke up a sleeping child and when the baby started crying she told the mom) overall though, I met some amazing families I still keep in contact with but that was before the management switch.

      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.
