British Governesses

Governesses are professional tutors who are trained to the highest standard in order to provide your children with an outstanding and personal level of education. They come with years of experience in the care and tuition of pre-school and school-aged children. Our governesses are provided both in London and throughout the world. We have a selection of British, bilingual or multilingual gvernesses available to start at a very short notice. In contrast to a nanny, maternity nurse or a babysitter, governess concentrates on teaching children, not their physical needs.

Duties of a governess

One of the main governess duties is teaching and educating children in a private household paying attention to their social development (as well as tutoring English ond other subjects)
Governess will be employed to work 5 or 6 days per week and may work alongside a nanny.
