Full-time Governess required for 4 children, located in Abu Dhabi, UAE, 25,000 – 30,000 AED per month. Start ASAP
A returning client is seeking a highly experienced, qualified, and professional Governess to provide mentorship and academic support to their four children: a 12-year-old boy, a 14-year-old boy, a 15-year-old boy, and a 16-year-old girl.
As a Governess, you will be responsible for providing high-level academic support across all core subjects, working closely with the child’s schools and tutors to ensure consistent academic progress and the achievement of expected grades. Duties will include school collections, supporting homework and study routines, and effectively organising the child’s daily and extracurricular schedule. You will also be responsible for assisting with the morning and evening routine.
In addition, you will accompany the child to extracurricular activities while fostering a fun, engaging, and creative learning environment. The children are very active and looking for someone who can engage with them and take an interest in activities outside the learning environment. You will serve as a positive role model, encouraging good manners, confidence, and overall personal development.
You will work collaboratively within a fully staffed household to ensure the children are cared for to the highest standard at all times. Working alongside the children’s nannies and tutors, your primary focus will be to support their happiness, well-being, and academic success, ensuring consistency and structure across all areas of their development. The ability to remain calm under pressure, communicate effectively, and work seamlessly as part of a professional team is essential to this role.
The ideal candidate will be a fun, calm, and highly experienced Governess who is fluent in English and holds a recognised teaching qualification (minimum BA, PGCE, or QTS). Previous private household experience is essential. You will have excellent communication and organisational skills and be confident in creating a structured, screen-free environment that promotes learning, independence, fun, and development without relying on screen time.
This is a live-out position, with a hotel room provided on a short-term basis at the commencement of the role, followed by a private apartment after a successful period within the position. A car will also be provided as part of the package.
The working schedule will be 6 days per week, working up to 12 hours per day. The day off will be over the weekend.
