Governesses/Governors

For families seeking an elevated standard of care combined with educational excellence, a governess offers the very best of both worlds — nurturing guidance alongside structured learning, cultural enrichment, and personal development in the comfort of your own home. Governesses will often follow on from nannies and will start to care for a child around 3 years old, here they will also start to put a focus on educational care as well as house hold care.
