Full-time English-speaking Governess required for G7, located in Dubai, 20,000 – 25,000 AED per month. Live-out. Start immediately.
A returning client is seeking a highly experienced, qualified, and professional Governess to assist with the care and academic support of her daughter.
As a Governess, you will be required to collect the child from school, assist with her homework, liaise with the school, and organise the child’s schedule. You will also be responsible for preparing healthy meals and supporting the evening routine.
In addition to this, you will escort the child to extracurricular activities and provide a fun, engaging, and creative learning environment. The child is active and enjoys swimming, tennis, football, and outdoor activities, and has daily use of the family pool. You will act as a positive role model, promote good manners, and support her overall development.
There will be periods throughout the placement where you will be required to take on full proxy parenting responsibilities when the client is travelling. This may be for up to one week at a time and is a non-negotiable aspect of the role.
The family places a high value on privacy; therefore, no posting on social media is permitted under any circumstances.
The ideal candidate will be a mature, calm, and experienced Governess who is fluent in English and holds a recognised teaching qualification (minimum BA/PGCE/QTS), with a solid understanding of KS1. Private household experience is essential. You will have excellent communication skills and be confident in creating a structured, screen-free environment, promoting learning and development without reliance on screen time.
The working schedule will be 5 days per week, working up to 8 hours per day. Flexibility is required, particularly during travel or periods of proxy care.
This is a live-out position with no accommodation provided and is therefore only suitable for candidates currently based in Dubai.
