      Pros

      (Jovie of Poway/San Diego) The scheduling is convenient as a student and allows you to have weekends off if one wants. Also, can meet some really cool families that can be reoccurring. Manager (Kaela) is also very sweet and present with the employees.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, there are many. I have been working for Jovie for about a year and it has gotten so mentally exhausting. Jovie does not pay well and then on top of that, they pay the same even if there are 3 kids compared to 1 and does not pay more for kids with special needs. The kids are usually not the problem but the parents can be very off-putting and weird. I have often times felt uncomfortable within my job around the parents. Also, Jovie puts you in positions to work with kids who are sick but then penalize you if you are sick and call out... it dosen't make much sense.

      We appreciate the time you have devoted to Jovie. Our Back Up Care Program, which is very important to working parents, can indeed be a role that isn’t a long term fit for all caregivers. Wed welcome your return to our team working sitter cases or our respite care programs. - Laura Davis, Franchise Owner, Jovie of San Diego

      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.
