I have worked at Jovie in Wheaton for two years now and it has been absolutely fantastic. Management is SUPER supportive of the staff and does everything they can to assist you, even in your personal life. My favorite part- besides the awesome families- is how I get to choose my own hours. I am a student on top of working full-time, being able to adjust each semester has been a very easy and stress-free process. Management truly has your back. Bonding with the kids you watch is an absolute dream. They even have extra training opportunities to expand your knowledge at no cost to us! I HIGHLY recommend Jovie of Wheaton! -Tessa-Kay S.

I’ve been working for Jovie for over 2 years now, and in that time I’ve gained so much invaluable insight into caregiving and being a positive role model to the younger generation. Having the ability to craft my own schedule is what first drew me in. It can often be difficult to make your job work with your other personal commitments such as college, but Jovie management is understanding and flexible. When I first started, I had a bit of a hectic personal schedule, and so rather than getting paired with a regular family off the bat, I filled in on assignments as needed. This allowed me to meet so many families in my first few months and experience many different households with varying routines and lifestyles. Jovie families are each so unique and I formed so many bonds as the days went on. Once I was placed with my nanny family, I was able to take those skills I’d gained in the first few months and utilize them to be the best caregiver I could. I work with some of the sweetest, most creative, and kind children each day. I’ve always had a passion for childcare, and working for Jovie has allowed me to live out that passion. - Sierra P.
