Tashkent

Job Description

A distinguished family in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, is looking to hire a refined and well-educated Russian-speaking Governess to oversee the intellectual, emotional, and cultural development of their 5-year-old son.

This role goes beyond academics — the Governess will act as a mentor and role model, cultivating curiosity, confidence, and creativity through literature, arts, and meaningful engagement. The ideal candidate is a native Russian speaker (or completely fluent) who also speaks conversational English, enabling smooth communication and travel with the family.

The family’s son is already multilingual (Russian, English, and Chinese) and supported by a team of nannies who handle daily care and language reinforcement. The Governess will focus on broadening his cultural knowledge, encouraging intellectual exploration, and nurturing social and emotional awareness within a respectful, family-oriented setting.

Responsibilities

  • Encourage the child’s growth through educational, cultural, and creative activities.
  • Introduce poems, short stories, and Russian literature to enrich vocabulary and imagination.
  • Foster appreciation for theatre, music, and the arts.
  • Organize curiosity-driven learning experiences and intellectual play.
  • Teach etiquette, good manners, and social awareness suitable for his age.
  • Collaborate with other household staff to maintain a coordinated and positive routine.
  • Provide a nurturing and inspiring environment that promotes balanced development.

Job Requirements

  • Native Russian speaker (or equivalent fluency).
  • University degree in Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, or Teaching preferred.
  • At least 10 years of professional experience as a nanny or governess, ideally for VIP or private families.
  • Deep understanding of early education, child psychology, and creative teaching.
  • Cultured, articulate, and passionate about literature, theatre, and the arts.
  • Emotionally intelligent, calm, and respectful in all interactions.
  • Adaptable and energetic, with a genuine love for children and teaching.
  • Conversational English required for travel and team communication.
  • EU passport advantageous but not mandatory.
  • Previous international household experience is highly valued.

Working Conditions

  • Full-time or rota position (to be discussed).
  • 5 working days per week, flexibility required.
  • Live-in accommodation provided.
  • Occasional travel with the family.
  • Start date: As soon as possible.

Salary

€5,000–€6,000 net per month, depending on experience and qualifications.
