Governess Role, Job ID J17775

A Governess is needed in Chelsea, London to help them in looking after their two school aged children.

The governess should also be prepared to organise educational activities for school holidays. They are looking for someone with an educational background that can take sole charge on childcare and all children's admin. The home is very busy so the governess will be comfortable to get on with tasks and lead an example. The principal likes to maintain a tidy household, however, understands that children will be children, so the governess will ensure that following playtime, the residence is returned to its original state. The governess will also be responsible with liasing with chef on menus. Someone pet-friendly is ideal as they have a guinea pig in the home but this is not a deal-breaker.
