Governesses

Educational Care & Guidance — For Your Children’s Brightest Future

A Governess brings something truly special to your home — educational support combined with gentle care and guidance. Unlike a traditional nanny, a Governess focuses on your children’s development, learning, and enrichment — helping them thrive academically while growing in confidence and curiosity.

What A Governess Provides:

Academic Support — homework help, curriculum reinforcement, organisation of study routines

‍ ‍Enrichment Activities — reading, arts, languages, music, outdoor learning, cultural outings

‍ ‍Educational Consistency — continuity during term breaks, travel, or relocation

‍ ‍Manners & Life Skills — gentle guidance, structure, and positive daily habits

‍ ‍School-Age Focus — ideal for children from approximately 5 years old through to teens

‍ ‍Flexible Role — can be full-time, part-time, or term-time only to suit your family

Every Governess We Introduce:

Educated to at least degree level or equivalent

Teaching qualification or proven educational experience

Specialisms welcome — languages, music, STEM, arts

References verified in person

EDBS background check

Interviewed personally — character, warmth, and approach assessed

How We Can Help:

Whether you seek someone to support your children alongside school, provide continuity during international travel, or offer specialist language/cultural education — we match carefully to your values, expectations, and family dynamic.
