Pros

The company lures in newcomers with immediate full time positions

Cons

The company lures in newcomers with immediate full time positions, but once those are over they will stick you with crappy part time jobs, weird hours, sometimes several hours away. It's very hard to find nanny placements, they want you to be stuck busting your butt working horrible back up care jobs. Management is horrible. They will contact you at any hour, including midnight. They will be aggressive about you turning down any assignments. This company will force you to burn out and want to leave the planet while simultaneously not making enough money to survive. I am having a mental breakdown and can't even afford groceries.

Pros

Flexible schedule (theoretically) and working with kids can definitely be super fun and very rewarding. Consistent nanny assignments, if you can get them, are especially enjoyable.

Cons

Work is difficult, low pay, low support, management can be unpredictable depending on which franchise you work for. You have the benefit of going through a service, which means you don't have to find clients yourself. However, you also have to commit to CNS and sign a non compete that applies for a year after you quit. So if you happen to find a family you love, tough. You're stuck. Management pressures you to do more, more, more especially if the franchise you work at is understaffed. Take this job, take another, burnt out? Too bad. Help at this event, take on this extra task, pick up another shift .... even though we're not paying enough for this! Aren't you supposed to be able to call out of work if you really need to? You might be kissing that luxury goodbye. You don't get breaks, so you're working long shifts straight through unless the kids nap, and even then, you're supposed to be doing anything you can to help out around the house. Boundaries are unclear - do I do the dishes? Clean the playroom? Can't I just sit down? I had shifts up to 12 hours with zero breaks. Again, it depends on who owns your franchise and how many employees they have. This was just my experience.
