- Great and innovative idea for working families to have reliable childcare on demand.
- Jovie coordinates around your schedule which is great for employees who are currently going to school.
- Jovie has plenty of clients and opportunities. The company frequently reaches out to ask if you’re available or would like to take on a client.
- The company offers an app which is very user friendly. The interface is useful as it shows you your shifts for the week as well as giving you a brief background of the family you will be working for.
- Jovie’s onboarding process was very quick and straightforward. Management was very communicative and helpful throughout the process.
Cons
- Like any childcare position; the pay isn’t the best however, Jovie’s pay is comparable/if not more than most other childcare positions.
- You need to have reliable transportation since you have to commute to clients

We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! It’s fantastic to hear that Jovie’s flexible scheduling, intuitive app, and smooth onboarding have helped support your goals.
Your input on the check-in/out functionality is incredibly helpful, We’re currently looking into ways to make location tracking more adaptable to real-world scenarios. Thanks again for your thoughtful feedback!
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!
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.
