Pros

Ability to work remotely. Developing relationships

Cons

Out of date systems that do not work. Micromanaged to the point you cannot do your job successfully. Worked 60+ hours a week with very little down time. Emails and phone calls outside of normal business hours, with expectation to always be plugged in. No benefits. Low pay for ALL employees including Nannies, Sitters and Tutors. Owner doesn't even live in the state of CO and is trying to open a franchise from MN.

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.
