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.
