Wonderful family based in Battersea are seeking an exceptional native French Governess for their bright 4-year old son, who is transitioning from pre-school to primary school next September. They are seeking an exemplary character with strong morals, who is nurturing and emotionally supportive, with excellent communication skills.

Key Responsibilities:
• Provide academic support and tutoring, especially in preparation for primary school entry. The little boy currently goes to Kumon for Maths and English support, but for example, this needs teaching support.
• Focus on improving French language skills and speaking with a native French accent.
• Enhance fine motor skills, particularly colouring/drawing and handwriting
• Implement and maintain discipline with empathy and understanding. It is very important to his father that he has a strong moral compass, a sense of right and wrong, self-discipline and is able to develop a high degree of self-confidence.
• Manage school runs (school is 15-30 minutes away on the bus) and daily routines, including school preparation and communication.
• Coordinate with other household staff and babysitters as needed

• NNEB qualified
• Minimum 10 years of relevant experience
• Mix of both nannying and teaching background preferred
• Strong French language skills
• Experience in preparing children for prestigious schools

Schedule:
Weekdays:
• 7am-6.30pm and every other Saturday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM (reducible to 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM) or if not possible then the Governess can liaise with and book a regular babysitter to cover the Saturday. The happiness and wellbeing of the Governess is also a top priority to mum and she wants someone feeling rested and thriving in the role.
• Very occasional travel for holidays with the family

Accommodation: Live-out preferred, but live-in option available

Start Date: ASAP. Ideally before Christmas 2024

Salary: Circa £78,000 gross annual (negotiable for exceptional candidates)
