I'd give zero stars if I could…read more When we first started looking for a nanny for our kids, 4 years and 5 months old, stability was our top priority. We had a long chat with Linda from Jovie about this, and I honestly thought we were on the same page. We trusted them to find us a nanny who would be with us long term. Here's what happened. Our nanny, who was fantastic and really clicked with our kids, ended up leaving for another job Jovie showed her only after being with us for 11 weeks. Once we found out we spoke with our nanny and she said she loved our family, in fact she told us it was a difficult decision to make and she would love to come back if we needed her for date night,etc. This new position Jovie showed her had a schedule that better fit her needs. What's unprofessional is that Jovie didn't give us a heads up until the day before she was set to leave, though they knew about it four days earlier. That hit us hard because it was unexpected, and it put us in a bind trying to figure out what to do next. Two replacements were offered. One with limited experience, her qualifications showed she had only 1 day of infant training. The other replacement we weren't shown a resume because she had not completed orientation. We were not interested in these two options. We were very clear we wanted long term care and ultimately this internal transfer our nanny made hurt our children's wellbeing. And seeing our 4-year-old so upset and confused about why his nanny just disappeared has been the hardest part. Our family trusted Jovie and they let us down and most importantly let our children down. I'm not one to complain, but I feel I have to be straight with other parents out there. Based on what we went through, if you're looking for dependable, long-term childcare, you might want to think twice about Jovie. It's a tough lesson we learned about the difference between what a company promises and what they actually deliver. Shame on Jovie and Linda for putting our kids and family through this emotional situation.

Don't trust this place! They will ask for your bank account and withdraw money without notice…read more They never give us a copy of the paperwork or explain us when and how much they will withdraw. We got charged for 3 months in advance before we even started.We ask about the charges and were told that they like to keep 1 month deposit and change 2 months in advance. And this is before you are even sure if there methods works and can help your kids academically. After attending for 4 months we didn't see any progress at all. And now they try to withdraw 1810$ without noticed again last week. We are so done with this place. I have to dispute the charges with the bank and revoke there access to the account. Be careful who you trust with your bank account!

We took voice lessons from someone else for 2 years, and they wound up moving away so we had to find someone else. What a waste of 2 years! She has taught my daughter more in 6 months then we got for 2 years. My daughter loves working with her because she makes it fun, but productive. Not only does she work on singing, she helps with acting, and auditions. All around, she is WONDERFUL! Highly recommend her.

He is so knowledgeable and is someone I wish I would have found earlier in my application journey. I am so grateful for his support! I loved having the whiteboard and he always sends the PDF of the notes that you cover in class. Stefan makes everything super easy to understand and very accessible. If you don't understand it, he will try to flip the concept on its head and reteach it to you. He is super patient! This has been my favorite test prep experience. I have tried it all - Manhattan Prep and other test prep companies. I only wish I found him sooner.
