We received your details from Emily and Peter on board The World. My wife and I are shortly embarking on board the ship with our 5-year-old son, Henry and 16-year-old Benjamin. We are looking to hire a nanny or governess or combination of the two to help out with looking after our son Henry and help steer Ben in the right direction as he completes his online A Level courses as well as be a companion / responsible adult for the boys when needed.

I understand that you are somewhat familiar with the general parameters of the role having worked with Peter and Emily and so please let me know if this is something you would like to discuss further. Timing-wise this is now fairly urgent as we plan to join the ship later in June after which it starts travelling further and further away from England (we are in Burford until the end of June) which would make interviewing and trialing a bit more challenging.

LIVE OUT ROTA GOVERNESS/EDUCATOR FOR VIP FAMILY IN FLORIDA, USA

• Location: Florida, USA
• Salary: $120,000 - $140,000 gross pa. 
• Rotation to be determined 
• Live out | Accommodation provided for the first few months if relocating 
• Must have the right to work in the USA
• ASAP start with 1-2 weeks of trials beforehand

The Chace People team is searching for an amazing and mindful Governess/Educator to join our VIP client in Florida, US for this permanent long-term opportunity! 

As an Educator, you will be an expert in your field, understanding the ins and outs of child development as well as being able to teach in a fun way, appropriate for the age of the child. You will be preparing a homeschooling curriculum with the existing Governess in place and so previous experience with homeschooling is non-negotiable.

Knowledge of various educational philosophies such as Montessori, RIE or Gerber is a must for this position - the more the merrier and any other talents like playing musical instruments are very welcome!

You are a grounded and collected person who is interested in personal growth and will be joining an existing, well-loved Governess, and becoming a valued member of the team. You will be looking after the education and well-being of a nearly 2-year-old who is very loving and switched on. 

Ideal Governess would be:

• Educationally focused and experienced as well as willing to learn new methods
• Contribute to the coherence of the household 
• Considerate and kind
• Creative and resourceful
• Amazing team player, kind, humble and grounded
• Flexible, patient and willing to pitch in
• Highly emotionally intelligent 

Our clients have a big team around them that works well around each other and is an extended part of their family. They would be happy to provide accommodation in the first few probation months, for out-of-state candidates who would be willing to relocate to Florida, as this will essentially be a Live Out role. 

The length of the rota will be discussed with the team once in place, however, flexibility is key! If this sounds like the right role for you, then please do get in touch, we’d love to hear from you! 

Please note that candidates with relevant experience and excellent, checkable references need only apply.
