Low pay, poor benefits. Not a good full-time position

Nanny/sitter

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

This job is very flexible, and you make your own schedule so you can work as much or as little as you want.

Cons

It can be inconsistent depending on the time of year. Also, not all jobs get paid the same amount so you could make less an hour for a longer shift depending on when it's sent out. You also don't get the same family twice UNLESS they consistently reach out to you to request you back.
