Pros

The company is all about working with your schedule. As a placement nanny your schedule is pretty cut and dry and it's easy to get into a routine. Unlike food service or retail you don't have coworkers to switch shifts with, but they have an on call nanny service just in case of an emergency. On call is also pretty cool to do because it's something different every day.

Cons

Challenges, probably just communication with families. Parents are always changing their minds about things and sometimes they fail to communicate with you. But the good thing is that CNT understands that and has your back usually. The dress code is a little dated but again not every job is totally perfect.

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.
