Thanks so much for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that the flexibility of the role and the opportunity to earn bonuses and travel incentives have been a good fit for you. We did want to clarify that we do offer PTO! While the role allows you to choose when you work, we also recognize the importance of rest and time off, and have structured our PTO to reflect that. If you’d like more details, feel free to reach out to your manager or our office team. Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review!

Pros

Jovie is amazing if you are busy! I am a student and have another job, and Jovie works with me to where it is no big deal! Jovie of Greater Indianapolis has the BEST staff, they are so flexible and are there to support you every step of the way. I create my own availability, and can also pick up shifts when I have time. I have met the best families, and have not had one issue with anyone in the 8+ months I have worked here! It is really what you make it, they have exactly what you need if you need a full time or part time gig. I recommend them to all of my friends!!

Cons

None! Sometimes the drive is a bit longer than I would like but they pay you drive time!
