Pros

I would say support, or opportunities for support more than actual support.

Cons

Very deceptive management that seems to encourage misleading information. As a whole, the company needs to pay their nannies better and let them know of benefits that are given by the state. -Also, company is falling way behind when it comes to wages. There is really no point in working for this company if a nanny can be paid twice, sometimes three times, as much money working directly with a family. All the BS they sell about being a reputable company that works with the "best" families is just to lure applicants. Stay away!!!! The turnover rate is also laughable. Would not recommend this job to anyone.

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.
