New York

Job Description

A high-profile private family in New York City is seeking an experienced and highly educated Governess to support the academic growth, emotional development, and daily structure of two school-aged children, aged 8 and 10.

This is a role that goes well beyond traditional nanny duties. The position is education-led, with a strong focus on learning, routine, and intellectual stimulation. The Governess will serve as a consistent, trusted figure in the children’s lives, ensuring stability, structure, and continuity across the household.

Responsibilities

  • Provide daily supervision combined with structured, age-appropriate educational engagement
  • Support homework completion and reinforce academic learning
  • Foster the children’s intellectual curiosity, emotional awareness, and social development
  • Manage morning routines and after-school schedules with precision and consistency
  • Ensure punctuality, organisation, and preparedness for school and activities
  • Accompany the children to and from school and extracurricular activities (within walking distance)
  • Maintain a calm, organised, and supportive home environment
  • Encourage healthy habits, discipline, and routine
  • Take full responsibility for the children’s daily care while residing in the family home when required
  • Coordinate with household staff to ensure balanced meals and healthy snacks
  • Handle light organisation and cleaning directly related to the children’s needs
  • Ensure consistency in routines, schedules, and emotional support

During periods when the children’s mother is travelling, the Governess will assume sole charge of the children, staying in the family home for 7–10 consecutive days, including basic meal preparation and light housekeeping related only to the children.

Travel

The role requires accompanying the children on international travel, including:

  • Summer holidays
  • Spring break
  • Other school vacation periods

Job Requirements

  • Minimum 5 years of experience as a Nanny/Governess with UHNW families
  • Strong academic or teaching background highly valued
  • Comfortable using educational and digital tools to support learning
  • Polished, articulate, and professional presentation
  • Emotionally intelligent, reliable, and confident working independently
  • Experienced in short-term sole-charge care
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Fully flexible for international travel
  • Legally authorised to work in the United States
