What is a Governess?

What is a Governess ?

Learning and education is one of the most important things a parent can give their child. 

From simply supervising children, to designing and implementing education programmes, providing personalised and specialised lesson plans, and evaluating the child's progress...a governess' role can be broad, challenging and hugely rewarding. 

A governess is generally expected to manage the child's, or children’s, schooling, education and overall mental development.  
​

  • Overseeing one or multiple children's education
  • Observing and encouraging healthy social development and interactions
  • Teaching good manners and behaviour
  • Organising varied activities during the child's, or children's, leisure time
  • Teaching one or many foreign language(s)
  • Preparing and supervising homework, exercises and exams
​

What skills does a Governess require ?


  • Authority and discipline
  • Patience and understanding
  • Creativity, the ability to design fun and educational activities
  • Capacity to educate, encourage and support
  • Good communication skills, willingness to cooperate with parents
