      Pros

      (Jovie of Poway/San Diego) The scheduling is convenient as a student and allows you to have weekends off if one wants. Also, can meet some really cool families that can be reoccurring. Manager (Kaela) is also very sweet and present with the employees.

      Cons

      Unfortunately, there are many. I have been working for Jovie for about a year and it has gotten so mentally exhausting. Jovie does not pay well and then on top of that, they pay the same even if there are 3 kids compared to 1 and does not pay more for kids with special needs. The kids are usually not the problem but the parents can be very off-putting and weird. I have often times felt uncomfortable within my job around the parents. Also, Jovie puts you in positions to work with kids who are sick but then penalize you if you are sick and call out... it dosen't make much sense.

      We appreciate the time you have devoted to Jovie. Our Back Up Care Program, which is very important to working parents, can indeed be a role that isn’t a long term fit for all caregivers. Wed welcome your return to our team working sitter cases or our respite care programs. - Laura Davis, Franchise Owner, Jovie of San Diego

      Pros

      Hours, pay, management, career growth and mileage compensation. I have honestly told all of my friends and family about how amazing working for Jovie has been. When I was attending school they worked with my schedule and I still had so many bookings! Jovie will definitely be a long term job for me ! They also work with your location and are extremely supportive. I have never been worried about asking questions because there is always someone there to answer them.

      Cons

      This does not happen often but when you get a shift scheduled a few hours or the night before a shift. It can make things feel a bit rushed to prepare but it always turns into a great shift!
