Pros

The company does an excellent job of advertising and recruiting students. There are usually enough students to make it worth your time. You set your availability and it is relatively easy to make special accommodations for the things that can come up in daily life. There is a standard curriculum for test prep, making it easy to cover all of the necessary material with a student.

Cons

They offer very little training. Scheduling can often be erratic because students come in on their own terms. They offer poor pay even for well qualified, experienced tutors.

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.
