Governess/Educational Staff

A governess is a professional who provides private education and childcare to children within their own home.

The role of a Governess

The responsibilities and roles of a governess can vary depending on the specific needs and expectations of the family. Here are some common responsibilities and roles of a governess:

  • Education: The primary responsibility of a governess is to provide a high-quality education to the children in their care. This may include teaching various subjects, assisting with homework, and implementing a structured and comprehensive curriculum tailored to the children’s academic needs.
  • Tutoring: A governess often acts as a personal tutor, offering individualised instruction and support to help children excel in their studies. They identify areas of improvement, provide additional resources, and offer guidance to enhance the children’s learning experience.
  • Social and Cultural Development: A governess plays a vital role in fostering the social and cultural development of the children. They teach proper etiquette, manners, and social skills, encouraging positive behavior, respect, and empathy towards others.
  • Language Acquisition: If required, a governess may focus on teaching or improving language skills, such as teaching a second language or refining communication abilities in the children’s primary language.
  • Extra-Curricular Activities: Governesses often organise and participate in extracurricular activities that support the children’s overall development. This may include arranging sports, arts and crafts, music lessons, and other hobbies or interests that contribute to their well-rounded growth.
  • Personal Development: A governess helps in nurturing the children’s personal development by encouraging self-confidence, independence, and critical thinking. They may provide guidance on goal-setting, decision-making, and time management to help children develop valuable life skills.
  • Childcare: In addition to educational responsibilities, a governess may be involved in general childcare duties. This includes supervising the children’s well-being, ensuring their safety, assisting with meals, organising schedules, and providing support in daily routines.
  • Communication: A governess maintains regular communication with the parents, keeping them informed about the children’s progress, academic achievements, and any concerns that may arise. They collaborate with the parents to ensure a holistic approach to the children’s education and overall development.
