Amy M.

Director of Talent Acquisition

Hi! My name is Amy Martin and I am the Director of Talent Acquisition for Jovie of North Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas of the Permian Basin with a Bachelor of Business Administration Management degree. My professional background before Jovie was in general management, recruiting, and training. At Jovie, I am responsible for our overall recruitment process, onboarding and training procedures as well as oversee our marketing and B2B strategies.

Everyday I look forward to learning about different family's needs and ensuring they get the right nanny- down to allergies, personalities, location, etc. We have a very specific interview and onboarding process in place before we recommend a nanny to a family.

In my spare time, I am often with my family, exploring with our RV, baking, or volunteering within my community.

Monica S.

Director of Operations and Sales

Monica is the Director of Operations and Sales for Jovie of North Texas. She was previously a Family Placement Manager for 3 years. She began as a tutor family but soon became a part of the team as she learned more about their desire to assist young families by providing responsible and quality caregivers. She has enjoyed meeting families and finding solutions to their needs. The best reward is hearing from a family how much one of our Role Models has helped to strengthen their time together. Monica has a Master’s of Science in Healthcare Administration and a Bachelor’s of Science in Biology/Psychology from Houston Baptist University. Upon the arrival of her second son, she left the corporate world to remain home and raise her family. Soon two more boys were added to the bunch. When they grew to school age, she began to homeschool the boys for their education while also attending various programs around the community and Houston area. Two are now in college and the other two are close behind. Their home is in Kingwood, TX. She enjoys supporting her sons in their activities, playing in the garden, attempting DIY projects, and spending time with family and friends.
