A recommended Russian family, residing centrally in Moscow, is seeking a top English-speaking Governor/Governess to assist with language development, general development, and the academic studies of their boys aged 7½ and 2½.

As a Governor/Governess, you will provide an array of engaging activities in English, plan classes, assist with schoolwork, escort the elder boy to and from school and extracurricular activities, and during the summer months, provide an engaging and fun summer programme to keep the boys entertained, active, and happy while still learning. You will assist with general care: sharing mealtimes, promoting good behaviour and teaching etiquette, encouraging independence, maintaining health and hygiene, and assisting with bedtime duties.

The focus will be on the oldest child, who is currently fluent in English and Russian, and is also learning French. He attends a Bilingual School in Moscow from 8 am to 4 pm.
