Governess Recruitment and Placement Agency
What is a governess ?
A Governess is a professional child-minder who is responsible for educational and social upbringing of a child during primary school years.
The main role of a governess is teaching the child good manners and principles of etiquette as well as taking responsibility for child’s academic performance.
In terms of education, governess can help children with their homework in order to improve their performance at school, assist in learning foreign languages in the academic curriculum and teach additional ones. The governess focuses on children’s education and development by sharing her own experience and knowledge with them.
Parents themselves can create their own educational program for their children and the governess would follow it. The governess is the one who predominantly takes part in stimulating and encouraging intellectual, social and emotional development of the children during the period called identity formation.
