Lovely European family, highly recommended by their current staff, seeking educated, sporty Governess/Governor for their 6 year old son.
The role involves full wraparound care for this bright, arty little boy who loves drawing as well as water-sports with his family.
An energetic, outdoorsy, candidate who is confident in implementing and maintaining strong routines is ideal; the boy attends school during the day so it's essential that the Governess/Governor can ensure the day is organised in order to effectively manage the daily routine along with providing addition fun, educational activities.

The family appreciate a Montessori approach, with the view of creating an environment of curiosity and independence in which their son can grow and learn. Candidates should enjoy planning varied, age appropriate activities that draw upon the boy's school education as well as pushing his boundaries to explore the world around him.
STEM activities are highly regarded, along with following the child's natural interests.
The boy has previously enjoyed sports such as surfing and wind tunnelling, and would benefit from a sports orientated candidate who can encourage him to discover a passion for other healthy, outdoors activities alongside his artistic interests.
Qualifications are advantageous, particularly those relating to sports and primary education.
Candidates should hold an up to date first aid qualification.

The house is fully staffed - no nursery duties are required, beyond working together with the boy to keep his areas clean and tidy.
Whilst Mum is around and actively involved, the candidate should be comfortable working independently. There is one other child in the family (G2.5) who has her own Nanny.
The role is a 2/2 pr 3/3 rota with return flights. For consistency and stability, this role needs to be considered only by candidates looking for a long term position. Some travel may be required during school holidays.
Night cover is essential and the candidate should confident in implementing and maintaining sleep routines.

This is a lovely, down to Earth family looking for a calm, fun candidate to inspire and educate their son - a really fantastic role for someone looking for a straight forward yet high calibre role.
