Our professional governesses provide personalised in-home education support, including homework help, curriculum reinforcement, study skills development and academic coaching. They align with your child's private school program (e.g., at Thomas's, Pembridge Hall or Knightsbridge School), while also fostering independence, critical thinking and enrichment in subjects like languages or sciences. Unlike standard nannies, our governesses focus primarily on educational excellence with childcare elements as needed.

All candidates undergo rigorous screening: enhanced DBS checks, right-to-work verification, reference checks (including past families and schools), qualification verification (e.g., teaching degrees, PGCE, or Montessori) and in-depth interviews. We prioritise experienced professionals with proven track records in elite London private education settings for complete peace of mind.

We specialise in primary, secondary and prep school children. Our governesses excel in homework assistance, 7+/8+/11+ GSCE A levels preparation, Common Entrance coaching, catch-up after absences and extension for gifted learners—perfect for families at top independents in Kensington, Chelsea, Knightsbridge, or Notting Hill.

It starts with a confidential consultation (phone or video) to understand your child's needs, school, schedule, and preferences. We then present 2-4 carefully matched governess profiles. You interview shortlisted candidates, and we handle contracts, trial periods (if requested), and ongoing support. Most families secure a placement within 2-6 weeks.

We offer transparent, competitive placement fees based on role type (full-time, part-time, temporary). There are no hidden costs families pay a one-time introduction fee upon successful placement. Governess salaries are negotiated directly (typically £45,000–£80,000+ gross per annum for experienced roles in central London, depending on duties and travel). We can provide guidance on UK nanny tax/PAYE compliance via trusted partners.

Discretion is paramount for our high-profile clients. All consultations and candidate details are handled confidentially under strict GDPR compliance. We never share information without explicit consent, and our website/forms use secure encryption.

Absolutely, many of our governesses are bilingual (French, Mandarin, Spanish, etc.) or experienced with international schools (IB, bilingual programs). We frequently match for families with global lifestyles or those preparing for overseas moves while maintaining UK private school standards.
