Pros

The hours are flexible, you can take lots of time off, paid over minimum wage, management is fairly nice

Cons

A lot of the parents are entitled a**holes and will be very rude and condescending, some kids are nice but others are absolute menaces and I’ve been verbally and physically assaulted by clients before, some parents are batsh*t crazy and will ask insane things of you or yell in your face. You also will make much more per hour if you do private nannying or respite

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.
