Pros

My coworkers and boss were very nice and helpful

Cons

No training, worked 24/7 when told I would work 8-5. So much work I get pressured to skip lunch everyday. Have to go babysit and they won't pay for miles or gas when I had to drive 40+ miles extra everyday for a month. The owner couldn't remember my name for a year and she only had ~ 8 employees. No growth. No benefits at all. Was sick in the ER overnight and she expected me to work there- in the middle of the night in case I couldn't come in the next day. When I couldn't because of how sick I was, I got yelled at. One of the worst companies I've ever worked at.

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.
