________________________________________
A warm and welcoming family based in Nicosia, Cyprus is seeking an experienced and engaging live-out Governess or Governor to support the care and education of their 8-year-old twin boys.
The role will involve managing school runs, supporting homework, and coordinating a busy schedule of extracurricular activities. Both boys are active and sporty, participating in football, while also attending tennis (for one child) and basketball (for the other). A candidate with a genuine interest in sport, particularly football, would be highly desirable.
The family spends summers in another part of Cyprus as well as time in Athens, Greece, so a candidate who is happy to travel and able to plan engaging active outings during trips is essential. The ideal candidate will be intuitive, energetic, and able to recognise when the children would benefit from a change of activity, keeping them stimulated and balanced.
This is a long-term position with a family who truly values work-life balance and fosters a respectful and supportive working environment. They are seeking someone who is committed to relocating to and enjoying life in Cyprus.
A European passport holder is preferred; however, the family is open to sponsoring a visa for the right British candidate.
