Pros

Collage Nannies is a good company to work with, The manager is very understand when it comes to having a to cancel a job at the last minute. You can make your own schedule which has to be submitted on a weekly basis. It is a different family every time unless a family likes you and asks for you again.

Cons

Sometimes you don't get any work because there are too many on call nannies

Jovie Response

Thanks for the review! We are glad that our nannies feel they can come to us with any issues and get a compassionate response; however, last-minute call-outs, while handled well by our management team, are not something we want to encourage. In response to the lack of work for an on-call nanny, I would just say there are many factors involved in successfully receiving assignments. As the review noted, families request nannies with whom they've had a good experience in the past. Other factors involved in being requested are punctuality, professionalism and quality engagement with the children. In addition, if a nanny is communicating her availability to the management team via our online scheduler, she is more likely to receive assignments. Our business is growing, and we cannot hire on-call nannies fast enough! This individual's review, while accurate for her personal experience, is not a perspective shared by all of our on-call nannies, many of whom work 40+ hours per week and get booked 3-4 weeks in advance due to the high demand for their caregiving.

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.
