Hire a Professional Governess in London – Royal Nannies Agency

At Royal Nannies, a premier governess agency in London, we specialise in placing highly qualified and experienced British governesses and native English-speaking tutors into private households across the capital. Whether you are looking for full-time educational support or a part-time addition to your home-schooling team, our agency provides bespoke solutions tailored to your family’s specific needs.

What is a Governess?

A governess is an educated professional with a strong background in teaching, typically holding a degree and often a formal teaching qualification. Unlike a nanny, whose duties may include general childcare, a governess focuses on the educational and developmental progress of the child—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Our governesses in London work closely with parents to support school curriculum, prepare children for entrance exams, encourage a love of learning, and nurture confidence, etiquette, and independence. Many of our governesses are native English speakers, ideal for families seeking to strengthen their children’s English fluency and academic skills in a British context.

Why Choose a British Governess in London?

Hiring a British governess in London ensures your child is guided by someone who not only speaks English at a native level, but who also understands British culture, values, and educational standards. This is especially beneficial for international families who want their children to integrate into the British school system or prepare for prestigious institutions.

At Royal Nannies, we only work with governesses who are thoroughly vetted, experienced, and passionate about education. Most of our candidates have backgrounds in teaching, psychology, or early childhood development, and many are multilingual.

Typical Governess Responsibilities:

One-to-one academic tutoring (literacy, numeracy, science, etc.)
Homework supervision and school project support
Preparation for 7+, 11+, GCSE or international exams
Organisation of enriching educational outings and activities
Promoting discipline, social etiquette, and manners
Supporting children with SEN or learning difficulties where needed
