Jovie of Newport Beach
Professional nannies & babysitters

We hired Jovie for the past two years (2023 & 2024) to provide a "Kids Club" setting for our Medical Group's annual conference at the Hyatt Huntington Beach Resort and Spa. Over three days, Chris Evans (owner/manager) and her team of minions created a safe, fun and enjoyable event for the all the kids (ages 6 months - 12 years). Our physician parents felt safe and comfortable leaving their children in the capable hands of Chris and team. The kids were excited to return and look forward to our 2025 Conference where we will be hiring Jovie once again. Highly recommend Jovie's service.

I have worked for College Sitters, Nannies, and Tutors, now called Jovie, since 2017. When I started, I was still an undergrad student, and now I've earned my master's degree and navigated through many life changes. Throughout it all, this job has been a constant source of support. The flexibility it offers has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally in ways I never imagined. The families I've worked with have been a delight and have taught me so much about life. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities and experiences I've had here. Special thanks to Chris for always being there and supporting me along the way.

I am grateful to have the Bright Horizons child-care program through my company that utilizes care from places such as Jovie of Newport Beach. While our son's sole caretaker during the work week, his Grandmother, was away in Europe for a month, I leaned on Bright Horizons. I am leaving this review to show my appreciation and give my highest recommendation specifically for care-takers, Samantha Berkson and Sarah Stevenson, as they are true gems and our son absolutely adores them! The level of care these two provide is completely unmatched. As a newer mother, it was scary to put my trust in strangers, but after a few days with Sam and Sarah, it felt good knowing that not only is my 11 month old son happy when he is with them, but that he is safe. Both Sam and Sarah are extremely attentive, caring and trustworthy. They make my son laugh, they speak to him in a kind and calm manner, they sing to him and encourage him to try new skills. They take him to the library, his favorite place, on walks and to the park. When they arrive in the morning, my son greets them with a big smile on his face. I truly could not ask for better caretakers.
