Jovie of CA, WA, and MN

We're Jovie. Smart, capable, human, full of joy. Ready to help build stronger families with our vetted and savvy team of professional nannies and babysitters.  For modern parents, finding the proper childcare can feel like another task on a never-ending to-do list. That's why Jovie takes the tough stuff off their plate: screening, hiring, training, and payroll. So they can skip to the best part— meeting a nanny or sitter who feels like part of the family. Jovie's childcare services extend beyond the home as the nation's leading event care provider for corporate functions, weddings, and professional sports teams. Our experienced caregivers are equipped to be ready for anything, including stepping in for center care staffing and employer-subsidized back-up childcare. We've always done this work before as College Nannies and Sitters, and we continue it now as Jovie.  Over the last 20+ years, we've served over 350,000 families in 150 territories across the U.S. In 2016, we became part of the Bright Horizons Family of Childcare Solutions as a wholly-owned subsidiary.
