Governesses

English speaking governesses are highly sought after within large and wealthy households and countries like Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, and many others. Governesses will teach children within the home paying close attention to their social development, tutoring and language skills.

Caleen Ltd specialise in providing a governess services for our clients in the UK and overseas as well as bilingual governesses who provide the educational expertise where parents prefer to educate their children privately at home.

A governess will provide complementary education and social development skills to enable your children to reach their full potential. Some families need to travel extensively due to work or lifestyle, a governess will help prove a stable influence in your children’s education and bridge the gaps where language and education levels may vary. A governess provides invaluable support for both parents and children, bringing expert teaching, cultural and social enhancement skills to school aged children between the ages of 3 and 16 years.

A qualified governess will come from a teaching background and have a minimum of 5 years professional childcare or teaching experience. A governess may have specialised training in music, sport or art and may be employed to develop a child’s full potential within this area.

The average working day of a governess is usually around 10 hours a day, 5 days a week with weekends free, although this can vary from post to post and can be negotiated pre-contract. A governess post is primarily a live-in one, and depending on where the family live, they may provide the governess with either on-site or off-site housing within easy reach of the family home. A governess will have minimal responsibility for housekeeping and cleaning, other than related to the children.

Caleen Ltd identify the specific skills and qualities required to provide only the very best candidates and can help provide information on work visas, employment contracts, salary scales and probationary periods.
