Pros

Collage Nannies is a good company to work with, The manager is very understand when it comes to having a to cancel a job at the last minute. You can make your own schedule which has to be submitted on a weekly basis. It is a different family every time unless a family likes you and asks for you again.

Cons

Sometimes you don't get any work because there are too many on call nannies

Thanks for the review! We are glad that our nannies feel they can come to us with any issues and get a compassionate response; however, last-minute call-outs, while handled well by our management team, are not something we want to encourage. In response to the lack of work for an on-call nanny, I would just say there are many factors involved in successfully receiving assignments. As the review noted, families request nannies with whom they've had a good experience in the past. Other factors involved in being requested are punctuality, professionalism and quality engagement with the children. In addition, if a nanny is communicating her availability to the management team via our online scheduler, she is more likely to receive assignments. Our business is growing, and we cannot hire on-call nannies fast enough! This individual's review, while accurate for her personal experience, is not a perspective shared by all of our on-call nannies, many of whom work 40+ hours per week and get booked 3-4 weeks in advance due to the high demand for their caregiving.

Pros

This was my return to the workforce after many years of being a stay at home mom position. I accepted the offer because I was able to control my schedule and my travel distance as I had other outside obligations I had to consider. It was wonderful to be able to Have this control because my home schedule varies. I have been with the company for a little over two years now, and I love it! I have met so many wonderful families. I have engaged with so many children, some of which have some language and or other delayed issues. By bringing in craft projects for them I have been able to engage them, gain their trust in a short amount of time, and make them feel comfortable and happy while I’m caring for them. I love arts and crafts and it’s wonderful to be able to engage with the children and show them some different artistic ways of expressing themselves and also help them to make them feel comfortable while I’m there. Most of my families at this point are repeat families so I’ve developed a very close relationship with them. And the staff does support me when I need to make changes to my schedule and/or accommodate request for my schedule with families. It has been extremely rewarding for me.

Cons

Since I am a back up care provider, it can be a little challenging at times when it’s a last minute assignment however that’s the nature of the job because you are providing back up care when somebody’s usual Caregiver situation isn’t available for that day. However, the staff is considerate and giving me a heads up as soon as they know.

Thanks for your amazing feedback! It’s great to hear management has been helpful and understanding. While the on-call nature means we can’t always know which households need assistance in advance, we truly appreciate your suggestion about fostering staff connections. We'll explore ways to improve this. Thanks for being part of our journey! - Gary Matsuda, Franchise Owner, Jovie of North Scottsdale
