Governesses

A governess is an educationally qualified caregiver who helps mentor and care for both young and school-age children with a big emphasis on the children’s academics.

Since COVID-19, families all over the world are adapting to a new way of living. By now you’ve likely experienced the challenge of balancing homeschooling with work. We appreciate our teachers now more than ever; because educating our children is a full time job, and let’s face it, we need help! In light of the recent pandemic, many families are choosing to continue to homeschool their children indefinitely.

Alternatively, families whose children attend school full-time also benefit from having a governess. She can help drive the children to and from school and other activities. While the children are in school, she can help with other domestic or personal assistant duties for the parents. A governess is like having a nanny, personal assistant, teacher and tutor in one person. If your child or children need this kind of specialized academic focus and encouragement, or if you need a break from homeschooling, hiring a governess is an excellent option.

Deb’s Domestic Agency routinely places governesses with families and we will continue to provide this service to meet the needs for families across the US. All DDA governesses hold college degrees and have experience in teaching, tutoring and caregiving. We look forward to helping your family transition into a new normal.
