Governesses

Nannies Incorporated is a trusted and leading British governess agency providing bilingual governesses to private households in London, Paris, Dubai and internationally.

A governess is an educationally qualified professional employed by families to educate the children in their private household.

Governesses focus on the educational needs of mainly school aged children; they teach and tutor languages and/or other subjects, provide assistance with school work and exam preparation, focus on the children’s social development, teach manners and etiquette or occasionally music instruments, they research schools and help with school applications. Generally governesses are not responsible for the general care giving tasks but are primarily focused on education.

Employing a governess in a private home gives parents the advantage of getting a tailored tuition plan for their children. Additionally they will enjoy of personal security as well as the flexibility to travel with school aged children or live in multiple locations.

Our international governesses are formally qualified and hold a diploma in childcare, a recognised teaching qualification such as a PGCE with QTS, a bachelor’s degree and/or have considerable experience as child carers in the home setting, teachers or tutors.
