Education & Childcare
Governesses
Bespoke Governess Agency.
Often confused with a Nanny, the role of a Governess is distinct to that of other childcare roles.
A private Governess is employed to lead educational activities, as opposed to overseeing your child’s daily routine in terms of eating, sleeping and cleaning.
As such, they are focussed specifically on your child’s etiquette, education and development.
At Melissa PS, we understand the importance of finding the right person for your child’s needs and personality, but we also know the emphasis that must be placed on maintaining the utmost discretion. As a member of your household, a Governess is privy to your private affairs, with which they must be unequivocally trusted.
As such, we only put forward the best candidates as an experienced London Governess agency, to ensure that each individual will fit seamlessly into your life and home.
