Governess

Full-Time Governess job (M/F) in Tashkent, Uzbekistan

Tashkent

Job Description

A prominent private family based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan is seeking an outstanding Russian-speaking Governess to accompany the personal, cultural, and emotional development of their 5-year-old son.

This role is designed for a native or native-level Russian speaker with conversational English, able to communicate comfortably within an international household and during travel.

This is not a traditional academic tutoring position. Instead, the Governess will play a key role in shaping the child’s intellectual curiosity and emotional growth through culture, literature, creativity, and meaningful daily interaction, working alongside an established team of nannies who oversee routine care and language exposure.

Already fluent in Russian, English, and Chinese, the child would benefit from a Governess who can elevate his appreciation for culture, reading, manners, and personal development, nurturing confidence, imagination, and emotional intelligence.

The Governess will create a refined, engaging, and emotionally supportive environment where learning is integrated naturally into everyday life—curious, joyful, and enriching rather than structured or academic.

Responsibilities

  • Support the child’s holistic development through culturally enriching, educational, and creative activities.
  • Introduce Russian poetry, short stories, literature, theatre, and art in an age-appropriate and inspiring manner.
  • Encourage a genuine love for reading, music, and cultural exploration.
  • Design curiosity-led play and intellectual activities that stimulate imagination and critical thinking.
  • Foster good manners, social awareness, and emotional maturity.
  • Collaborate closely with other household nannies to ensure a balanced and coordinated daily routine.
  • Create a warm, stimulating, and inspiring environment where learning feels natural and enjoyable.

Job Requirements

  • Native Russian speaker or near-native fluency.
  • University degree required, ideally in Pedagogy, Early Childhood Education, Teaching, or a related discipline.
  • Minimum 10 years’ experience as a nanny or governess, preferably within private or VIP households.
  • Strong knowledge of child development and culture-based, creative learning approaches.
  • Well-educated, articulate, and culturally refined, with a genuine passion for literature, theatre, music, and art.
  • Emotionally intelligent, calm, polished, and highly professional.
  • Energetic, adaptable, and deeply committed to working with children.
  • Good conversational English for travel and team communication.
  • EU passport preferred for ease of international travel (not essential).
  • Previous experience in international households is a strong advantage.

Working Conditions

  • Position: Full-time, permanent
  • Schedule: 5 working days per week (flexibility required)
  • Accommodation: Live-in accommodation provided
  • Travel: Occasional international travel with the family
  • Start Date: As soon as possible

Salary

From EUR 5,000 net per month, negotiable depending on experience and qualifications
