Governesses & Educational Support: Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a governess and a tutor?

A tutor usually comes in for set sessions on a single subject. A governess is a full-time educator who is part of your child’s daily life. Our governesses are often degreed educators who build learning into everyday routines, from foreign language practice at lunch to weekend museum projects. They also teach etiquette and confident communication, so the role sits between childcare and private education.

What ages do governesses work with?

Governesses typically work with school-aged children, from Pre-K through secondary school. The right match depends on your child’s age and goals, whether that is early literacy, foreign language immersion or academic support for an older student. Tell us about each child during the Insight Call and we will introduce only candidates whose teaching experience fits your family.

Can a governess manage our homeschooling?

Yes. Governesses often manage the entire homeschooling curriculum, planning lessons, tracking progress and turning daily life into learning. Many are degreed educators, and we verify their teaching credentials. If homeschooling is part of the role, tell us on your first call so we only introduce candidates with that experience.

How do you vet governess candidates?

Before you see a profile, every candidate goes through structured interviews with our team, confidential reference checks with former employers, employment and history verification, and a digital footprint review. For governesses we also verify teaching credentials and review classroom experience. Once you choose a candidate, we run a comprehensive criminal and background investigation before the start date.

Should we hire a live-in or live-out governess?

Both can work. Some families prefer a live-in governess, especially when travel or homeschooling is involved, while others want a live-out schedule. Live-in roles require a private room and bathroom for the governess. If you are still weighing live-in against live-out, or part-time against full-time, we help you think it through on the first call.

How long does a governess search take, and what if it doesn’t work out?

Qualified candidate profiles are typically delivered within days, and a complete placement usually takes a few weeks for a clear, market-rate role. Searches for a specific language or curriculum background can vary. Your family hires the governess directly, and every placement is backed by our 6-month replacement guarantee, under which we actively source a qualified replacement if your hire doesn’t work out in the first six months.
