Some friendly coworkers Simple work Great office location

Cons

Horrible employer Terrible, inexperienced, unprofessional, rude and retaliatory management Unprofessional and unethical franchise owners —lack of real word business knowledge. Bad leadership and inability to activate proper leadership and ethics behaviors. Known to mix up PTO & hours worked across offices Questionable employment/legality practices Lack of honesty Demonstrates discriminatory behaviors toward people who are pregnant, elderly or non-white. Known to fire employees without cause and without warning and then say the employee quit without notice. Non secure technology practices—vulnerable to security breaches with employee information and payment information for families. Staff are miserable

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.
