Pros
The kids are awesome, flexible schedule, you gt to be on your own for the most part, making a difference in the lives of children, opportunity for growth, tuition reimbursement
Cons
You are not taken out of a home when the family makes you uncomfortable, they completely mislead you about the hours (I was hired full time and almost never had more than 20 hours on my schedule which eventually resulted in them taking away my health insurance), there are no paid days off and you are not reimbursed when a family cancels on you last minute, Its extremely hard to make your hours because people constantly cancel on you and your paycheck suffers greatly, compared to other companies you are not paid much for mileage, you have to buy your own toys which you need to do your job and the company doesn't reimburse, all women at the bottom but men advance quickly and upper management is all-male for the most part.
