Private Educator for Twins (5YO) in Washington, DC, USA | $180K-240K PA
Full-time Teacher-Governess, Early Childhood Education, Homeschool Nanny Teacher
Ref: FG7042

EED is delighted to be representing a high-profile international family based between Washington D.C. and New York, who are seeking an exceptional residential private educator to join their household on a long-term basis, starting as soon as possible.

The family has 5-year-old twins who are currently educated at home. The parents are seeking an elite, traditionally trained educator to take full ownership of the children's academic development over the next two to three years within a fully homeschooled environment. Both children are bright and inquisitive, and the parents have been explicit about their preferred teaching style—structured, methodical, and academically rigorous. They do not want a "play-based" or "fun learning" approach.

The role is purely educational. The family employs full-time nannies, so the educator's focus will be entirely on teaching, lesson planning, and the children's academic progress. The family travels frequently—often by private jet—and the educator would be expected to travel with the family, with all expenses fully covered and business class as a minimum standard.

The household is fully staffed with long-tenured team members across personal training, culinary, and childcare. The family invests deeply in the people around them and looks for candidates with the same long-term commitment.

Working schedule: Monday to Friday, 8:00am – 5:00pm. Rotation: 3 weeks on / 1 week off.

Key Responsibilities
Delivering a structured, academically rigorous home education programme for two children entering Reception/Kindergarten age
Designing tailored, methodical lesson plans for each child, with clear academic progression and measurable outcomes
Monitoring and reporting on each child's progress directly to the parents
Maintaining academic consistency and routine across multiple residences and travel periods
Collaborating professionally with the family's nannies and wider household team
Operating with absolute discretion within a high-profile private household

Candidate Requirements
Qualified teacher (PGCE / QTS or equivalent international qualification)
Strong Early Years and KS1 specialism
Demonstrable experience in reputable schools, established private education, or formal homeschooling environments
Structured, traditional teaching style—explicitly not play-based
Prior experience in UHNW or high-profile private households is highly desirable
Fluent English essential (native level preferred but not strictly required)
Female candidate preferred
Comfortable with extensive international travel and rotational schedules
Open to thorough reference verification
Complete discretion, professionalism, and NDA comfort essential
US work authorisation desirable; full visa sponsorship is available for the right candidate

The Package
Salary: from $180,000 to $240,000 per year—flexible for the right candidate
Full visa sponsorship provided
Private single-room accommodation provided (not shared)
All travel and travel expenses fully covered—business class minimum; private jet travel frequent
Long-term placement anticipated (minimum 2–3 years)

Trial Opportunity
The family is open to a paid trial period, particularly during the summer travel season, for a candidate they feel strongly about. That said, once they meet the right person, they will move decisively to commit. This is a family that values time and is unlikely to drag a process out once the right educator is in front of them.
