Pros

College nannies and tutors uses an app to keep track of all assignments that is very easy to use. You must update it with your availability regularly or your boss will text you all the time with assignments. Most families I saw were very nice.

Cons

Some assignments were very far away and they don't reimburse for gas required to get to the location. Some assignments were assigned for two days without meeting the family first. So you are committed for two days of care without knowing how that experience will be. Also the pay did not correspond to the number of children you were caring for. So I would be paid $12 an hour for 3 kids.

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.
